The ramjet Gorgon IVs, made by Glenn Martin, were tested in 1948 and 1949 at Naval Air Station Point Mugu. The ramjet was designed at the University of Southern California and manufactured by the Marquardt Aircraft Company. The engine was 2.1 metres (7 ft) long and 510 millimetres (20 in) in diameter and was positioned below the missile.
This work, combined with his passion for aerodynamics, led him to file his first patent for an intermittent reaction thruster, a propulsion system that would later inspire the pulse jet engines used in the German V-1 flying bombs. [7] In 1933, Leduc filed a second patent on the thermo-propulsive nozzle, the foundation of ramjet propulsion. [8]

The MA-74 was developed by Marquardt for use as a powerplant for high-speed target drones; [1] its primary use was in the North American Redhead and Roadrunner. [2] A nacelle-type ramjet, it used a normal shock inlet, and was designed to be mounted on top of the aircraft; fuel was ordinary JP-4.
The Lippisch P.12, P.13a and P.13b were related design projects for a ramjet-powered delta wing interceptor aircraft studied in 1944 by German designer Alexander Lippisch. The P.12 and P.13a were unarmed, relying on reinforced wings to ram its opponent. The P.13a and b were to be powered by producer gas made in-flight from powdered coal.
A combustor is a component or area of a gas turbine, ramjet, or scramjet engine where combustion takes place. It is also known as a burner, burner can, combustion chamber or flame holder. In a gas turbine engine, the combustor or combustion chamber is fed high-pressure air by the compression system. The combustor then heats this air at constant ...
A scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is a variant of a ramjet airbreathing jet engine in which combustion takes place in supersonic airflow.As in ramjets, [1] a scramjet relies on high vehicle speed to compress the incoming air forcefully before combustion (hence ramjet), but whereas a ramjet decelerates the air to subsonic velocities before combustion using shock cones, a scramjet has no ...
A sectioned RJ43-9 from a Bomarc missile at the San Diego Air & Space Museum annex Gillespie Field. The Marquardt RJ43-MA was a ramjet engine used on the CIM-10 Bomarc missile, the D-21 drone, and the AQM-60 drone.
