Ear‐to‐ground

Abstract

RAMJET RAMIFICATIONS. ‘Hands across the sea’ was the order of the day for Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd. when they announced recently that they had signed a format agreement for the exchange of information relating to advanced propulsion systems with the Marquardt Corporation of America. The agreement has the blessings of the governments of both the United States and the United Kingdom. Initially, at least, collaboration will be limited to an exchange of technical knowledge concerning supersonic and hypersonic ramjets, and their subsystems and components. Bristol Siddeley are currently producing the ThorBT.1 ramjet—incidentally the first ramjet power unit to go into production in Europe—for the Bloodhound surface‐to‐air guided missile, as welt as carrying out work on a number of other projects including the BSRJ‐824 ramjet for long‐range operations at high altitudes.
