The first<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gnom |url=http://www.astronautix.com/g/gnom.html |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=www.astronautix.com}}</ref> serious attempt to make a production air-augmented rocket was the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] '''Gnom''' rocket design, implemented by Decree 708-336 of the Soviet Ministers of 2 July 1958. 

More recently, about 2002, [[NASA]] has re-examined similar technology for the [[GTX program]] as part of an effort to develop [[SSTO]] spacecraft.<ref name=GTX-summary>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081122140310/http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/RT2002/5000/5880trefny.html ''Air-Breathing Launch Vehicle Technology Being Developed'']</ref>

Air-augmented rockets finally entered mass production in 2016 when the [[Meteor (missile)|Meteor Air to Air Missile]] was introduced into service.
