Ramjet in a sentence

However, a new crop of ramjet designs, mostly revolving around solid fuel ramjet technology have put the ramjet back on the map.

Artist's conception of a Bussard ramjet. A major component of an actual ramjet a miles-wide electromagnetic field is invisible.

Design A typical ramjet A ramjet is designed around its inlet.

Integral rocket ramjet/ducted rocket main A slight variation on the ramjet uses the supersonic exhaust from a rocket combustion process to compress and react with the incoming air in the main combustion chamber.

Precooled engines main A variant of the pure ramjet is the 'combined cycle' engine, intended to overcome the limitations of the pure ramjet.

A larger-diameter rocket booster at its base (described as identical in size to that of a DF-11A short-range ballistic missile) is designed to loft the missile upwards at high speeds, at which point the booster is discarded and the ramjet takes over.

But for that extra burst of speed to catch the incoming herd of Soviet Badger, Bear and Bison bombers, the XF-103 would have been equipped with a ramjet engine.

The BrahMos is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft and land.

Above this speed, given sufficient initial flight velocity, a ramjet will be self-sustaining.

A key trait of ramjet engines is that combustion is done at subsonic speeds.

A liquid-fuel rocket engine boosted the Bomarc to Mach 2, when its Marquardt RJ43-MA-3 ramjet engines, fueled by 80-octane gasoline, would take over for the remainder of the flight.

All three returned designs based on Küchemann and Weber's slender delta; Nord suggested a ramjet powered design flying at Mach 3, the other two were jet powered Mach 2 designs that were similar to each other.

A ramjet generates no static thrust and needs a booster to achieve a forward velocity high enough for efficient operation of the intake system.

A ramjet uses this high pressure in front of the engine to force air through the tube, where it is heated by combusting some of it with fuel.

A replacement for Blue Steel, the Mark 2, was planned with increased range and a ramjet engine, but was cancelled in 1960 to minimise delays to the Mk.1.

Arthur C Clarke credited this book with inventing the ramjet, citation and being the first example of a rocket-powered space flight.

Because of this fear, humans have placed a Bussard ramjet field generator in close orbit around Down's sun, thus enabling them to destroy the Grog population should they ever take hostile action against any sentient species.

In 1940, the Kostikov-302 experimental plane was designed, powered by a liquid fuel rocket for take-off and ramjet engines for flight.

In 1941, Eugen Sänger of DFL proposed a ramjet engine with a very high combustion chamber temperature.

In order to reach ramjet speed, it would be launched from the ground by a cluster of conventional rocket boosters.
