Abstract: In this paper the situation about the development of airbreathing engines used for aerospace and missiles, discussed at AIAA/SAE/ASME/ASEE 24th Jiont Propulsion Conference, is presented. The main subjects are as follows, combined engine cycles using airbreathing and rocket propulsion for advanced space transportation, antimatter propulsion, laser-electron ramjet, supersonic transport propulsion technology, airbreathing concepts for high speed tactical missiles, which indicate the prospects of development of airbreathing engines.

Key words: Space propulsion;Space shuttle main engine;Air breathing engine;Ramjet engine;Turboramjet engine
