The change in the concept of hypersonic speed with time is briefly discussed. The evolution of the hypersonic propulsion is restricted to the history of the ramjets. Considering the abundance of literature on the subject, only the most remarkable achievements are reviewed. Less divulged historical events, such as the propulsion of helicopters by ramjets, are discussed in more detail, and special attention is given to the contributions of Spain to supersonic combustion. The present state of the hypersonic propulsion is examined. Some of the most demanding problems facing the propulsion system of the Aerospace Plane and the Hypersonic Cruise Aircraft are reviewed.
