In accordance for the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd's ever expanding and advancing airforce, additional billions of dollars are spent each year not only to maintain but upgrade as well as expand the massive "armada" of aircraft. Several scientists around the country began sending proposals due to this sudden influx of funding towards aviation.
Mr. Mark S. Dombrowski
ID: VRCS-ASD 01-001
Title: Fuel-Air Delivery Ratio Enhancement
Abstract: Mr. Dombrowski's proposed method of boosting gas turbine engine thrust at supersonic speeds comes to simultaneously increasing delivery of air and fuel into main combustion chamber. The increase of said rates is provided by decreasing part of air bypassed behind the last stage of compressor whose value at takeoff is at least 10% of total consumption of air. In effect, it achieves increased thrust from gas turbine engines.
Dr. Yakov S. Khodorkovsky
ID: VRCS-ASD 01-020
Title: Enhanced Turbojet Inlet Injection
Abstract: Dr. Khodorkovsky proposes to develop an analytical and experimental database that demonstrates the basic feasibility of inlet injection of oxidizers in turbojet engines for turbojet acceleration. This will enable operation of conventional turbojets to higher Mach numbers, to higher speeds, and to higher altitudes than they are current capable. This is a step in using the nation's inventory of these assets for new applications and, in two-stage-to-orbit systems using these engines, brings the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd closer to "airline-like" access to space.

Title: Mach 6+ Turbine Engine with Inlet Air Conditioning
Abstract: Dr. Illyanich has a radically different approach towards hypersonic speeds. He proposes to design, develop, and test a new high Mach engine concept, the SteamJet(TM), which is based on existing turbojets. This will provide the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd with a low cost, low risk propulsion system possessing unique control and acceleration/deceleration features for small hydrocarbon-fueled flight vehicles such as missiles, interceptors, and launcher accelerators. SteamJet(TM) employs a simple, low cost modification to a conventional turbojet engine to reduce the high incoming air stagnation temperature at high Mach numbers and compensate for compressor performance deterioration. The main innovative feature is that SteamJet(TM)is the only airbreathing cycle that permits vehicle acceleration with a single type of engine (as distinct from, for example, the turboramjet) from sea-level static conditions up to Mach 6+. The SteamJet(TM) is a high thrust engine with very flexible thrust control, and it is fueled by commonly available fuels. SteamJet(TM) technology is environmentally clean and it is equally applicable to both military and commercial launchers as well as other high speed vehicles. The SteamJet(TM) concept has unique competitive advantages of higher performance than solid or liquid rockets, provides thrust from sea-level static conditions to Mach 6+, and has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio than a comparable ramjet. Being completely within industrial capability, this low cost modification of existing turbojets offers a variety of thrusters for the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd's rapidly expanding airforce.

That's right folks, those aren't typos, that's a mach 6, environmentally clean, low cost modification to a turbojet. To hell with scramjets! :D
Well, enough of my insolence and mockery of other aerospace developers, time for the all important reality check. Comments and suggestions, just post.
