Thread: Superb VTOL scramjet thingy, Offer your speculation?

ramjet falls from a position, ramjet activates, ramjet returns to a position and then repeats.

or

what say the ramjet is pushed from b platform at a position, ramjet activates, ramjet is pushed back to a position / b platform.

What?
What are positions a and b?
Presumably there's supposed to be a diagram.
And why are you referring to ramjets when the thread title is scramjets?


Edit: by the way, ramjets or scramjets for VTOL?
Not in a million years.

pos a and b are Positions. a and b are just placeholders meant to represent some unidentified position in space. I didn't know the diffrence between scram and ram jets. They are both the same from what I understand.

Hmm, I wonder if this could be what these use for deceleration.

In other words useless as far as explaining anything.

If you'd actually read that link you'd have seen the difference: scramjet is a variant of a ramjet airbreathing jet engine in which combustion takes place in supersonic airflow.
A ramjet will not work with supersonic (intake) airflow.

Okay, you've added a diagram. So small as to be unreadable.

Not powered.
