Chinese researchers developed AI simulation software that cuts scramjet engine design cycles from years to weeks
Scramjet simulation is computationally demanding because it must resolve fluid dynamics from large shock structures to molecular-scale combustion chemistry
The AI surrogate models are trained on high-fidelity simulation data and can evaluate hundreds of candidate designs rapidly
The breakthrough could significantly accelerate China's pace of hypersonic weapons development and refinement
