Comment Railgun Power Scramjet? (Score -1) 615

I thought someone might have mentioned this by now, but what about a railgun-assisted scramjet engine?

A scramjet engine only becomes effective at mach 5, which is practically impossible to achieve with traditional jet engines, but well within reach of the mach 8 velocities of these new railguns.

Of course, then you're opening the door for ubercruise missles that go from 0 to mach 25 in a fraction of the time it takes now.(Before they melt, of course.)
