Breakneck Speed: New Russian Jet Engine to Propel Aircraft to 9,000 Kmh

A new Russian hypersonic engine capable of propelling an aircraft up to 9,000 kmh will be unveiled during the MAKS-2015 air show in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow.

The breakthrough engine was designed by the Central Institute of Aviation Motors (CIAM) in Moscow.
"An operational module of the supersonic combusting ramjet will probably be the most eye-catching piece at the CIAM booth," the institute reported.
In addition, the company plans to present dozens of other interesting projects.

The CIAM is one of the world leader’s in developing supersonic combusting ramjets. The Institute created Europe’s largest range to imitate flight conditions at speeds of Mach 5-7.5 (6,125-9,187 kmh).

"For rig tests, the Institute has designed a module of a hydrogen supersonic combusting ramjet. During tests under simulated flight conditions at speeds of Mach 7.4, the engine delivered forward thrust," the Institute explained.

I doubt the pilot will be able to stay conscious at such high Gs induced by the hypersonic flight.

Pilots may not be required for hypersonic flights.
Unmanned aerial platforms are becoming the choice options of the future.

maybe mach 7 but it might be unmanned

That is quite fast the average passenger plane which moves people around 500km - 1000km per hour
