Based on thermodynamic cycleexplain how ramjet engine works?
What are differences between ideal and real cycle?
Who invented the ramjet and why?
it was invented in 1913 by Rene Lorin
What is the main advantage of scram jet and ramjet engines?
They do not have moving parts (e.g. compressor blades, shaft, turbine blades) needed by turbojet engines, increasing reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and permitting them to operate at faster airspeeds. However neither can be used at low airspeeds at all, being a significant disadvantage as a different engine (e.g. turbojet, rocket) must also be provided for takeoff and landing.
What is the Difference between a turbine blade and a compressor blade?
A turbine is a machine that has a rotor of some sort that spins as a reaction to the flow of a fluid of some kind. A generator can be one of may things, but we often associate that term to a piece of equipment that converts mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy, or electricity. That said, the turbine could be connected to the generator to produce electricity from mechanical energy. The turbine is all about mechanical energy, and the generator converts mechanical energy into electric energy.
Is the x-43A a glider?
No. The X-43A is a test bed for scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) engine.
What powers the airplane?
What powers most airplanes are turboshaft engines as you see in all non- subsonic airliners. Other engines: Turboprop (propeller) Turbojet (Jet) Ramjet (Continuous Combustion Jet) Scramjet (Powered by high speed air at nearly MACH 2)
What has the author R G Morgan written?
R. G. Morgan has written: 'Shock tunnel studies of scramjet phenomena 1995' -- subject(s): Orbital velocity, Skin friction, Combustible flow, Subsonic combustion ramjet engines
What is the difference between Ramming and Diffusion in jet engines?
A Ramjet is a type of engine that uses the airplane's forward motion to compress incoming air. In other words, rather than using fan blades like most engines to compress the air and ignite it, ramjets use the high velocity of incoming air to essentially compress itself. Obviously, this only works at high speeds, making the ramjet ineffective for takeoffs/landings/etc.

What are three major types of jet engines?
Turbojet, turbofan and turboprop. Also, turboshaft and ramjet.
What Scrabble words end with Jet?
Lots of awesome-sounding words: Electrojet Multijet Pulsejet Pulsojet Scramjet Superjet Turbojet Waterjet Propjet Resojet Twinjet Fanjet Inkjet Projet Ramjet Trijet Objet

What does RAM in RAMJet stand for?
The "Ram" in "ramjet" isn't an abbreviation, and doesn't stand for anything. It is called a "Ramjet" because the air is rammed into the engine.
Based on thermodynamic cycleexplain how ramjet engine works?
What are differences between ideal and real cycle?
What has the author J Olds written?
J. Olds has written: 'Options for flight testing rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) engines' -- subject(s): Engine tests, Supersonic combustion ramjet engines, X-34 reusable launch vehicle, Flight tests, Rocket engines
Why ramjet is used in fighter aircraft?
Ramjet is not used in many fighter aircraft as it has not yet been sufficiently developed.
