In the fuel of the solid fuel ramjet there are metal particles in order to improve the Isp like as solid rocket propellants. Because of the short combustion residence time these metallized fuels have low combustion efficiencies. Therefore it is necessary to increase the combustion efficiency and the inlet air temperature does an important role to this. The effect of the inlet air temperature to the performance is investigated through the semi-empirical method by adopting the experimental combustion efficiency. There are two factors to affect the inlet temperature, free stream temperature and the flight Mach number.

Because of the short combustion residence time these metallized fuels have low combustion efficiencies. Therefore it is necessary to increase the combustion efficiency and the inlet air temperature does an important role to this. The main factors to affect the inlet air temperature is the free stream temperature and the flight Mach number. Also the flow velocity in the combustor does an important role, therefore entire range of the air flow; from the stagnation to the sonic velocity in the ramjet combustor is considered.

The combustion efficiency of the solid fuel ramjet is affected by the inlet air temperature. And this inlet air temperature is dependent on the flight Mach number and the environment air temperature. If the flight altitude is changeable, the inlet air temperature and also the air density vary. The performance efficiency is investigated with this variables related to the combustion efficiency.

The concept and characteristics of the propulsion systems for the next generation flight vehicles are described in this paper, where Hey are grouped into air breathing engine, rocket engine and combined cycle engine according to the feeding system of oxidizer. Air breathing engine has its good reusability and superior performance at low altitude, but its usage is limited at high altitude due to the decreased air density. Rocket engine can be used over the wide range of altitude, but it has disadvantages in low specific impulse and high cost. The several types of combined cycle engine, which are being developed by the leading countries in the aerospace, are highlighted as a remarkable candidate for the next generation propulsion system.

The evolution of hypersonic scramjet engines was reviewed from the 1960s to the present. Concepts of hypersonic air-breathing propulsion systems based on scramjet engine, such as combined-cycle engine, were described and compared with other high-speed propulsion systems. The development history of scramjet engines over the past 40 years odd was introduced with priority given to the efforts in the United States, and the current status of scramjet technology was reviewed through the recent development programs in several developed countries.

Advanced countries in aerospace have been struggle to realize the hypersonic air-breathing system since originating the concept of the hypersonic air-breathing propulsion system during the first half of the twentieth century. At last, NASA's X-43A Hyper-X did successful Mach 10 flight in November 2004. Each countries are running the program to applicate this hypersonic air-breathing propulsion system to SSTO(Single Stage to Orbit) or TSTO(Two Stage to Orbit) vehicle or hypersonic missile system at present. In this paper, we wrote the history and current issues of the hypersonic air-breathing propulsion system and hypersonic flight with the hypersonic air-breathing propulsion system.

액체램제트 추진기관은 고체로케트 추진기관에 비해 복잡한 구조와 작동원리를 가지고 있지만 산화제인 공기를 대기로부터 직접 흡입하므로 비행체의 크기와 중량을 줄이고 순항거리를 최대한 증대시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 램제트 추진기관의 개발 및 실용화를 위해서는 램제트 추진기관의 유동 및 연소지상시험 설비의 구축이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 그 기초연구로서 연소기 입구의 속도, 온도와 같은 실제 액체램제트 추진기관의 비행조건을 완벽하게 모사할 수 있는 Vitiated Air Heater의 설계기술 확보에 연구목적을 두었다.

The flame stabilization is one of the topics which have to be solved for the airbreathing propulsion systems, using the entering air which is supersonic velocity as an oxygen sources. Making a recirculation zone with an eddy flow, installed the reducing velocity devices such as the bluff body, is the typical method of the flame stabilization. Recently using a cavity flame stabilization at the wall is an emerging technique as an effective method which extends the stabilization zone, and the related research papers have been published on the flow separation and reattachment, pressures and oscillations including length/depth ratios in the cavities. Even though, still there are lots of topics to study more in the cavity flame stabilization field as the preceding techniques, as well as the research and the development of the airbreathing propulsion system itself.

무기체계의 추진체로서 고체 로켓트 추진기관이 제작의 용이성, 구조의 간단성, 이에 따른 저렴한 제작비, 그리고 고 신뢰도 확보가능 등의 여러 장점으로 대부분의 현존 전술 유도무기에 채택되어 사용되어 오고 있으나 대응, 방어 무기체계의 빠른 발전으로 이에 따른 새로운 추진기관의 유도무기체제가 요구되고 있다. 램제트 기관은 공기흡입추진기관으로 상대적으로 높은 비추력(1000-2000s)과 추력 중량비(∼20)을 가지며, 이로 인해 기존의 로켓 엔진에 비해 4-5배의 성능을 낼 수 있으며, 초음속 장거리 비행에 적합하다며, 또한 높은 속도영역까지 운용가능하고 구조가 비교적 간단하다.
