Since liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen have different densities and

Oxygen: -297F 71.2 lbs/ft3
Nitrogen: -321F 50.5 lbs/ft3
As you know, at the -297F of LOx the element of N2 is still a gas, and
as such easily excluded, on the fly(sort of speak). In which case
you'll have yourself a full blown H2/O2 scramjet that'll fly
suborbital for as long or as far as your onboard cache of LH2 holds
out.
