Combustion Properties of High-Density Fuels.

Abstract

For tactical systems operating within the atmosphere, ramjet propulsion offers significant advantages over conventional rocket propulsion systems (i.e., those which carry both fuel and oxidizer). The principal advantages -- increased range or greater payload at fixed range -- result from the intrinsic high specific impulse (Isp) associated with ramjets, which only need to carry fuel (the oxidizer being obtained from the atmosphere) for their propulsion.
