Abstract: The scramjet and maglev engineering technology development and trends at home and abroad are firstly presented in this paper. A new launch mode of space transportation system is proposed based on scramjet and magnetic suspension technologies, and its key technologies required are given. This paper also makes analysis on using scramjet and magnetic suspension technologies to launch a reusable rocket, and the results show that a normal temperature conductor maglev launch system is feasible.
