A successful test of Bangladesh's first "supersonic engine" came at last after so many failures. This engine is the most difficult project we have ever done especially the materials Engineering . Mach 3+ and above speed is the ultimate goal. To reach that speed, more tests are required. Inshallah, we will surpass that limit soon.
