SCRAMJET COMBUSTOR DEVELOPMENT Dr. Satish Kumar & Team* Head, Hypersonic Propulsion Division & Dy. Project Director, HSTDV,DRDL, Hyderabad 1. Introduction: An airframe integrated SCRAMJET propelled vehicle has advantages for application to several missions. In its simplest form, such a vehicle will combine the features of quick reaction, low vulnerability to counter attack and better propulsion efficiency. The Supersonic Combustion Ramjet ( SCRAMJET ) engine has been recognized as the most promising air breathing propulsion system for the hypersonic flight (Mach number above 5). In recent years, the research and DEVELOPMENT of SCRAMJET engine has promoted the study of combustion in supersonic flows.
