 Ramjet engines, How do they work?

How do Ramjet Engines work? A ramjet is a form of air-breathing jet engine that uses the forward motion of the engine to produce thrust. Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3 (2,300 mph; 3,700 km/h) and can operate up to speeds of Mach 6 (4,600 mph; 7,400 km/h). Watch on to find out more about how these Engines work. 

I show you the working components and describe how all of them work together to make one of the fastest engines ever built. This small prototype of a Turbo-ramjet engine is a first of it's kind ever built at this scale.

A scramjet engine is a supersonic-combustion engine that ditches the compressor and turbine of a typical jet engine and can attain speeds greater than Mach 5!

A few months ago, India’s DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization) made the news for successfully conducting the maiden flight test of its unmanned scramjet demonstration aircraft for hypersonic speed flight. Yes, that’s a mouthful. The demonstration aircraft was officially called the ‘Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV)’. The aircraft was designed to achieve speeds greater than Mach 6. To put that into perspective, a passenger aircraft travels at a speed significantly below Mach 1.

Speeds of Mach 6 or higher are achieved by using scramjet technology. Scramjet technology is extremely difficult to develop and, before India, only three other nations (USA, Russia, and China) have been successful in developing such a technology.
