A ramjet engine combustion is a type of air-breathing jet engine that uses the high-speed airflow of the engine to compress and ignite fuel, creating thrust.
A ramjet engine combustion works by compressing incoming air using the engine's inlet, then mixing it with fuel and igniting it in the combustion chamber. The heated gases then expand and are accelerated out of the engine, providing thrust.
The main difference between a ramjet engine combustion and a traditional jet engine is that a ramjet does not have any moving parts, such as a compressor or turbine. It relies on the high-speed airflow to compress and ignite the fuel, whereas a traditional jet engine uses a compressor and turbine to compress and expand the air.
Some of the advantages of using a ramjet engine combustion include its simplicity and low maintenance, as there are no moving parts. It also has a high thrust-to-weight ratio and is more efficient at high speeds than traditional jet engines.
One of the main limitations of a ramjet engine combustion is that it cannot operate at low speeds, as it relies on the high-speed airflow to function. It also requires a separate source of initial high-speed air, such as a rocket booster, to start and reach its operating speed.
