ABSTRACT:
A low-drag supersonic tubular projectile with self-contained thrust augmetion and capable of simultaneous dual internal air flows. One is a centrally located supersonic flow for providing low-drag characteristics, and the other a subsonic flow annularly arranged about the supersonic flow path, comprising a ramjet structure with solid fuel for deriving thrust augmentation enabling the projectile to achieve a terminal velocity which is substantially the same as or exceeding muzzle velocity.
