Definition of ramjet in English English dictionary

A jet engine in which forward motion forces air into an inlet, compressing it (as opposed to having a pump type device compressing the air for combustion with fuel), and where combustion is subsonic

a simple type of jet engine; must be launched at high speed

Air-breathing jet engine that operates with no major moving parts. It relies on the craft's forward motion to draw in air and on a specially shaped intake passage to compress the air for combustion. After fuel sprayed into the engine has been ignited, combustion is self-sustaining. As in other jet engines, forward thrust is obtained as a reaction to the rearward rush of hot exhaust gases. Ramjets work best at speeds of Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound) and higher. See also turbojet

A jet engine in which its forward motion forces air into its inlet compressing it (as opposed to having a pump type device compressing the air for combustion with fuel)

{i} jet engine that operates by injecting fuel into the compressed air created within the engine during flight
