Open Source RamJet Aircraft Engine

Basics

- An aircraft grade ramjet

- Essentially a pipe with a combustion chamber + a specially designed air intake that uses the ram air effect for air compression

- Easy to build, yet fuel inefficient

- Is good for very high transonic to supersonic speeds though

Used For

- Open Source Aircraft Construction Set
