Ramjets!!!

Oh its been a while i wrote a blog, anyway i am back!

So not talking about any basics and talk about something really interesting and exciting...

Ramjet engine, makes the aircraft to go lightning fast, probably up to a mind whopping 4 Mach. It does not have rotary parts like compressor or turbine as in turbojets, turbofans, etc. Ramjets are sort of simple designs used more in missiles. This type of propulsion systems need some initial speed to start functioning. So missiles are launched and once it meets the required initiation speed the engine ignites and takes the missile to the target.

At the inlet the Mach no. (M) is greater than one, the compression takes place at M <> 1. You can get an idea of it from the picture above.
