Heres a close up picture of part of a computer rendering of it:


If its not guessed by tomorrow I'll put up a version of that pic with a wider angle of view.

OK, a scram jet, or part of one.

Australia has been doing development work on SCRAM jets.
I think we bolted one on the back of a rocket in the desert somewhere and it ran for about 5 seconds.

Bingo


Here is the UQ story i got the original picture from: Need for Speed

I find that stuff fascinating, but have only seen theoretical renderings of the actual engines, which look sleek and efficient. The actual engine the uni developed looks awkward in comparison, but I figured I should have a picture of the actual marvel, even if it was confusing

Over to you John.

Why do I try to answer these things? Now, I have to find something...

Some music while you wait:

Sayaka Shoji plays Brahms : Violin Concerto in D major, Op.77 - YouTube

Not really a marvel in and of itself, but what marvel is it in? There were more than one, so the right one, please.
