More than half a century ago, when I was in high school, we had a "science" assembly in the gym that was conducted by a former science teacher from our school. Maybe it was NSA or NASA or something (we had a lot of these things in Maryland in the 1960s), I can't recall. Well the "finale" of his demonstration show was a ram jet that he had mounted to a stand. He gave his patter and then he set off that jet and it went on for about 10 seconds. I think my ears bled. It was the loudest noise (in a gym, no less) that I have ever heard in my life before or since. After the screaming had died down, we walked out of the gym VERY quietly. I passed my principal on my way out. He had a look of fire and brimstone on his face. Needless to say, former science teacher was never invited back.

The jet was so fast! Also, congratulations to the builder/pilot for making such a great scale model, and flying it with such skill and speed. Bravo! Even the takeoff was impressive, and a gliding landing too. Bravo! Google search found this for the HE-162: The specification stipulated various performance requirements, including a maximum weight of 2,000 kg (4,400 lb), a maximum speed of 750 km/h (470 mph) at sea level, an operational endurance at least a half hour, while the takeoff distance was to be no greater than 500 m (1,640 ft).
