ABSTRACT:
A solid fuel ramjet tubular projectile has a generally tubular body fabried of dense material or suitable hardened material having a bore formed therethrough and having first and second ends. A plurality of partitions divide the bore into a plurality of separate combustion chambers. Each of the combustion chambers extends longitudinally substantially the length of the body. Solid fuel is formed upon the body within each of the combustion cheers. An inlet is formed at the first end of the body, into which air is received. The inlet is configured so as to substantially decelerate air entering the inlet at supersonic velocity to subsonic velocity prior to the air entering the combustion cheers. An outlet, through which combustion gases flow, is formed at the second end of the body. A mixing section is preferably formed intermediate the combustion chamber and the outlet so as to facilitate substantial mixing of the combustion gases from each combustion chamber prior to the combustion gases entering the outlet. A turbulence generator is optionally disposed proximate the first end of the body to enhance mixing of air and fuel. The turbulence generator is preferably configured as a plurality of radially extending spokes.
