Application of Supersonic Combustion to Ramjets: An examination of the possibilities of using supersonic combustion for air vehicles in the mid‐hypersonic range

Abstract

THE interest shown lately in ramjet‐type engines for propulsion of hypersonic vehicles within the atmosphere has led us to consider using supersonic combustion ramjets, also called scramjets. It appears that this type of combustion is mandatory when the flight Mach number is of the order of 12.
