Scramjets
What's interesting about NASA's experimental scramjet is that it powers itself by travelling supersonically and burning oxygen it scoops up from the atmosphere. As such, in principle, it could fly indefinitely in a suborbital flight. It would have unlimited range -- it can just circle the globe as a drone, forever and ever.
