Development of Pyrotechnic Igniters for a 6 in. Ramjet

Abstract

Tests have been made to develop a suitable pyrotechnic igniter for the Reid air blast burner 6 in. ramjet. Two types of igniter have been successfully developed, one flash typo and one long burning type. The modifications necessary to adopt standard pyrotechnic practice to fulfil the exacting requirements of ramjet ignition are described.
