Problems of implementing ramjet operation

This paper discusses an approach to implementing the operation and designing the flow duct of a ramjet combustor. Methods of air compression, ignition, flame stabilization, and fuel combustion in the flow are considered for the purpose of implementing an effective process on a short length with moderate total pressure losses. Advantages of narrow-mode ramjet engines are noted. Comparative results of experiments on the burning of hydrocarbon fuels in the ramjet combustors are given.
