Abstract: Airframe integrated scramjet engines are disclosed. Scramjet engines within the scope of this disclosure may be configured to integrate smoothly with an airframe of a hypersonic flight aircraft or vehicle. The scramjet engine may include a capture shape of an inlet configured to capture airflow, a combustor configured for combustion of fuel and air, and an exit shape of a nozzle configured for expansion of the combusted fuel and air to provide hypersonic thrust. In some embodiments, the scramjet engine has a fixed geometry and a transitioning cross-sectional shape over its full length. The scramjet engine is configured to be a component of launch vehicle system.
