>Key technologies include a compact pre-cooler heat-exchanger that can take an incoming airstream of over 1,000C and cool it to -150C in less than 1/100th of a second.
That seems incredible. I'd love to see in greater detail how the system works.

It even uses countercurrent exchange of methanol as a deicer; it sprays in pure methanol at the coldest parts of the heat exchanger, captures it somehow, and sprays the increasingly waterlogged mixture farther and farther upstream where it's warmer and doesn't need to be as concentrated to prevent freezing.
