Overjet vs Overbite. These two orthodontic terms are used to describe incisor relationship and are often confused by both patients, parents and sometimes general dental practitioners. Overjet is the measurement (usually in millimetres) between the upper incisal edge and the labial surface of the lower incisors. The normal value is considered to be approximately 2-3 mm but this is increased in Class 2 Division 1 malocclusions and reduced in Class 3 malocclusions.
in: Scramjet. A scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is a variation of a ramjet where combustion of the fuel air mixture occurs at supersonic speeds. This allows the scramjet to achieve greater speeds than a conventional ramjet which slows the incoming air to subsonic speeds before entering the combustion chamber. Projections for the top speed of a scramjet engine (without additional oxidiser input) vary between Mach 12 and Mach 24. The fastest air-breathing, manned vehicle, the U.S. Air Force SR-71, achieved slightly more than Mach 3.2.
