Practical measurements of ramjet engine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the design and measurement of ramjet engines, specifically the need for accurate blueprints and technical data. The original poster seeks resources for replicating a ramjet engine in CAD, emphasizing the lack of formulas for sizing components. Participants suggest using online resources, including specific websites and images, to gather necessary measurements and insights into jet engine theory. Notable links provided include a Google image search for ramjet engine plans and a blog detailing Bristol Siddeley engines.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ramjet engine design principles
  • Familiarity with CAD software for engine modeling
  • Knowledge of jet engine theory and measurements
  • Ability to interpret engineering blueprints and technical specifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific ramjet engine blueprints and their scales
  • Explore jet engine measurement techniques and devices
  • Learn about CAD modeling best practices for aerospace applications
  • Investigate resources on jet engine theory and performance analysis
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, mechanical engineers, CAD designers, and anyone interested in the design and replication of ramjet engines.

Hello everyone
I am trying to design a ramjet engine. For that I need measurements of its parts. Does anyone know how to calculate them or have a link to a website where I could find more information?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
(1) Designing ramjets requires extensive technical knowledge .

(2) If you did manage to design and build one how would you ever test it ?
 
What kind of measurements are you looking for exactly? My guess is you can find pretty much any measurement device you need via a simple internet search...
 
How will you take measurements of parts of something that is in currently in design?
 
As I understand the question op wants blueprints and technical data for purpose of building one .
 
Odd use of the term 'design' then...
 
Yes, my bad. I didn't meant that I want to create something new. At the moment I am trying to replicate (that's probably the word) ramjet in CAD. I was looking on the internet for images, sheets, blueprints and I did found some. However, there are no formulas for sizes and all I could do was to create core of engine just from eye. So I want to know if here is anyone who has experience in jet engines theory and could give more info, like websites, books or anything interesting.
 
Blueprints always say on them what scale they are drawn to.

Be sure not to miss it - especially the pages near the end about ram jets .
