If the scramjet needs the air moving at mach whatever to prime this engine, then why not just have an engine primer capable of ramming air at mach whatever while the thing takes off conventially? Then once the intermix pressure reaches the design parameter, let the primary engine fire, and take over.
Wonder what thier thoughts would be on that? That way we wouldn't need a 747 to get the thing launched.
