Extract

Hilton has described a relatively inexpensive subsonic ram-jet installation which may be used as an aid to technical education. This type of equipment should serve to enable students to undertake performance studies of propulsion systems. To this end, this author would like to elaborate on one of the testing phases suggested by Hilton, that is, the tests on combustion systems with direct coupling to the air supply. It is the purpose of these remarks to present some previous observations on the combustion characteristics of a subsonic ram-jet which will serve as a useful demonstration as well as to provide areas of interest for academic investigations.
