MAE 6530 - Propulsion Systems IISection : The RamJetPropulsion CycleMAE 6530 - Propulsion Systems IIBackground on RamJets Ramjets are a very simple jet engine configuration that are capable of high speeds Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed; they cannot move an aircraft from a standstill. A RamJet powered vehicle, therefore, requires an assisted take-off like a rocket assist to accelerate it to a speed where it begins to produce thrust.
