Hypersonic jet ready for launch

British defense concern is making ready to test a Scramjet engine this Saturday. After mlaunching the engine on a rocket they will have six seconds to monitor performance before it hits the ground.

I think the statement about the potential for super fast air travel is a bit overblown. There does not seem to be any demand for ramjet engines for the same task.
