Re: re: Designing for a particular speed
On a slightly different tack, why do people often think of putting an afterburner after a pulsejet. I'd rather do the opposite -- put a pulsejet after a jet engine. Why hasn't anyone thought of a pulse afterburner? Ordinary turbojets with reheat waste fuel by burning it in this huge inefficient ram...

re: Scramjet engine
The only feasible way to use a scramjet is to use a gun-fired one. But the materials that are accessible to civillians probably aren't sufficient for the high pressure and aerodynamic heating suffered by a scramjet, especially considering the pressure that a projectile would go through. Besides that...
