I know of the V3,Bull and yesteday found out about BOMARC.Snark ive never heard off Havent done much research on the SR-71 but i remember that it was using a scramjet so thats a bit too far fetched for the ww2 era Electro magnetic launch ? So the projectile is fired by a standard gun and is...

I have no comment on the radio guidance other than to post something i found http://www.v2rocket.com/start/deployment/leitstrahl.html So it worked as i somewhat imagined The shell is going to be launched from the gun that wont change. On the website above it sais at some point "To hit a...

There hasnt been a single forum where i have proposed a single thing and people agreed no matter what the topic was.So disagreement is something im used to and i dont consider it as evidence for anything.Even on gaming forums where i used to hang out when that was a hobby of mine where there...

there's no better way i can think off to guide the thing.which mostly means to correct its path in this case,at that time Its impossible to have it exit the atmosphere and then come back,achieve such ranges and call it a conventional cannon.The only logical option is for it to be a mix between...

I never said im not going to strap some wings on the thing :) Even modern ramjet artillery shells have small wings.I was baffled at first at the extreme height the shell would reach and i knew i had forgotten to say something.Basically what i aim to do with this "project" is eliminate the fuel...

Then the alternative is a lifting body with ramjets design.But we dont need to go super high for that nor super fast.Yes i know lifting body designs are for reentry vehicles but i read that they work for lower speeds as well.Lifting body principle in my mind seems to work like a flying paper...

It was barely an idea because they didnt care for it nor did they have the money they needed http://enginehistory.org/Rockets/LorinRamjet/LorinRamjet.shtml If there were more people and a lot more funding thrown into research then ramjets would be a thing earlier. The concept was theorized 25...

That mass doesnt really have to be accelerated that much in my opinion.Since the shell will follow a ballistic arc the hardest part will be the ascending one.Also as i said at point it would be nice if the shell geometry could be altered to utilize at "low" altitude the lifting body...

The gun barrel will be transported via ship,rail or some specialized truck-trucks.I do understand that this wont be easy at all but o well :) Manufacturing will require a completely new set of tools and machinery unless naval gun manufacturing plants can somehow be repurposed but i doubt it The...

I dont know if it would cost that much but a single shell should cost less than a WW2 missile like the V2 which is what im aiming at. The US talked about a 1000mile range which is 1800km in 2019 https://i.pinimg.com/originals/25/a9/29/25a929867e5176b0aff941ed2a5e69b0.jpg...

I also send a link about the US making a gun that has a ramjet shell that reaches 1000miles.But i found more https://i.pinimg.com/originals/25/a9/29/25a929867e5176b0aff941ed2a5e69b0.jpg https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2020/10/super-long-range-cannons-could-create-global-trench-warfare-2-0.html...

No it wouldnt really.It would cost along with the whole instalation needed to house it,turn it,elevate it,reload and protect it as much as a small destroyer and the people it would need to man be close to those needed to man a destroyer if not less.The Gustav fired a total of 300 shots along...

Hello and thanks for answering :) Ok so the purpose of the gun is to fire the ramjet shell and achieve huge ranges while carrying a very big payload.Now one could ask why not use a missile ? Well there's 3 reasons;1)a missile requires a massive amount of fuel and oxidizer compared to a ramjet...

Thanks man :)

Thanks a lot man :0 Im sure that apart from my crazy projects i will get a lot of help regarding my "university adventures"
