AEROSPACE 410 AEROSPACE PROPULSION Lecture (10/25/2002) RAMJET ANALYSIS IDEAL RAMJET AND ACTUAL RAMJET DESIGN Dr. Cengiz Camci
RAMJETS WITH SUBSONIC COMBUSTORS
Possible Ramjet configurations
IN ORDER FOR A RAMJET TO BE OPERATIONAL A FLIGHT SPEED OF AT LEAST SONIC VELOCITY IS REQUIRED Appr. 740 miles/hour
A MAJOR DRAWBACK OF A RAM JET IS ITS HIGH RATE FUEL CONSUMPTION A RAM JET UNIT CAN PRACTICALLY REACH MACH 5 (LOW HYPERSONIC) AERODYNAMIC FRICTION WILL MELT ANY RAMJET STRUCTURE DESIGNED FOR MACH=3-4
RAM JET SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY MARQUARDT AIRCRAFT COMPANY BO-MARC PROGRAM BOEING & UNIV. OF MICHIGAN AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH CENTER LONG RANGE INTERCEPTOR
