A Novel Approach To Modular Ramjet Inlets
Abstract
Ramjet inlets are the main form of diffusion in supersonic engines. Meanwhile additive manufacturing is becoming to play a big role in the aerospace industry calling for both to be intertwined. This projects aims to test both a conventionally manufactured ramjet inlet and multiple additively ones to test flow separation and shockwave formation. The test section will also be modular to allow for easy swapping out of test objects and for future supersonic research.
