Subsonic intakes on ramjets are relatively simple. (7 words)
Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around convert. (9 words)
The performance of conventional ramjets falls off above Mach 6 due to dissociation and pressure loss caused by shock as the incoming air is slowed to subsonic velocities for combustion. (30 words)
After sufficient speed was reached, the Marquardt RJ43-MA-3 ramjets would ignite and propel the missile to its cruise speed and altitude of Mach 2.8 at convert. (29 words)
