Free-flight performance of 16-inch-diameter supersonic ram-jet units III : four units designed for combustion-chamber-inlet Mach number of 0.245 at free-stream Mach number of 1.8 (Units D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-4)

摘要

Performance of four 16-inch-diameter ram-jet units was determined at free-stream Mach numbers of 0.49 to 1.78 over range of gas total-temperature ratios of 1.0 to 6.1. Time histories of each flight and data on thrust, drag, diffuser efficiency, and combustion are presented. A maximum thrust coefficient of 0.88 and a maximum net acceleration of 5.13 g's were observed for the four units.
