Some ramjet and scramjet engines can even break the sound barrier, allowing aircraft to move at a hypersonic speed thanks to the engine's unique architecture.

Ramjet engines are a type of experimental engine designed to have no moving parts.

Scramjets can operate at Mach 6 and higher, with some tests reaching as high as Mach 10 cruising speeds.
