  The parameters of this HSTDV namely Combustion Chember pressure , air intake and controlguidance are also successfully tested . Tow types of engines have used in this HSTDV , 1st - Scramjet engine ( main engine )  and 2nd - Booster engine.

The booster engine can takes it a particular height and then booster engine separates from this vehicle and then Scramjet engine start and take it on it's target.

  Speed -  DRDO  said its speed is six mach , i.e. six times the speed of sound . It can fly 2km per second.

 The use of this hypersonic vehicles  :-

 

 In future it can uses on 

 1) Millitary use -

  a. To produce hypersonic weapons

  i) as a hypersonic Cruise missile .

 ii) as a hypersonic Glide missile :-  it is the mixture of cruise missile and ballistic missile .

 b. In a aircraft

2) Satellite launcher.
