Chinese scientists have tested a prototype supersonic rocket engine that is twice as efficient as similar engines. For this, a new solid fuel feed technology has been used, allowing more efficient combustion, informed the South China Morning Post, citing a study published in the scientific journal Solid Rocket Technology. A hypersonic ramjet (scramjet) is a […]

FYI. this certainly would increase the range of these things.

I don't think Americans are going to accept that China is capable on their own.
And much less even want to know about it!

Let's see how this topic works out?

I can see where it would work but I can see the drawbacks. It's a scamjet. A solid fuel using an air intake over either liquid fuel (throttleable) solid fuel with the oxidizer built into the solid fuel. This has zero advantage to using an oxidizer/solid fuel mixture.
