Demonstrator of continuous-detonation air-breathing ramjet: Wind tunnel data

Abstract

First experimental investigations were carried out into the detonation combustion of hydrogen in a demonstrator of an original-design air-breathing ramjet while blowing with an air flow at Mach 4 to 8 in an impulse wind tunnel, and for the first time under these conditions, continuous spin and longitudinal pulsed modes of detonation combustion of hydrogen in an annular combustor were detected.
