Airbreathing Propulsion
General
 |
At flight velocities above Mach 2, the ambient air can be used as an oxidant for a very efficient combustion in a so called ramjet.
The compressed ram air is produced by deceleration in a sophisticated air intake system. In the subsequent compustion chamber, this ram air afterburns with the supplied fuel. Thrust is than generated by conversion of the thermal energy into kinetic energy within the ramjet nozzle.
In the last decades, three major types of airbreathing propulsion systems for military applications have been developed:
 Liquid Fuel Ramjets (LFRJ)
Solid Fuel Ramjet (SFRJ)
Solid Ducted Rockets (DR)
Since the seventies, Bayern-Chemie has concentrated on the development of different types of solid ducted rockets, where the throttleable ducted rocket (TDR) is the most powerful one.
