This is the Velontra team during a demonstration event held for businesses, research institutions, and investor partners. The event was a blast, thanks to all who came out to support it. The entrepreneur and science community is an incredible thing to be a part of. The ramjet prototype functioned well and allowed Velontra to highlight …
Velontra successfully completed testing of one of the world’s smallest ramjets. A ramjet functions by using a platform’s velocity as a way to raise pressure without heavy and complicated turbo machinery. This has been used on aircraft like the SR-71. We developed a test facility to simulate the high pressure and temperature air that the …
Velontra’s unique ability to prototype hypersonic components incredibly quickly hinges on a key enabling technology, additive manufacturing. Here is a picture of Velontra’s additively manufactured ramjet prototype. This design was created with 1 print job with 1 part!!! Additive manufacturing builds a prototype one small layer at a time. This allows it to be incredibly …
This was an amazing and successful weekend with Velontra testing hardware. Velontra’s additively manufactured small-scale ramjet performed well. The test proved Velontra’s F.A.S.T. methodology and provided outstanding lessons learned to be utilized in further innovation of the design. It is great to be part of a VOSB developing and testing hypersonic technology from warfighters for …
Australia will be an excellent partner to innovate ramjet and scramjet technology for faster and more cost effective weapons. This bilateral agreement focused on hypersonic prototypes will help close the gap in the Weapon’s Race with rival nations like China and Russia. Air breathing engines have some inherent drag and fuel efficiency options that can …
