Antonio Ferri: Selected Papers on Advanced Design of Air Vehicles

This publication contains a selection of ten papers by Professor Antonio Ferri, who died in 1976 after many years association with AGARD. These papers were selected by a committee composed of Professor P. Libby, Professor R. Monti, Professor R.G. Napolitano, Dr D.M. Rogers and Professor R.Vaglio, and are concerned with the advanced design of air vehicles. They are published to bring together in one place examples of Professor Ferri's most important contributions to aerospace research and development. A biography of Professor Ferri is included, together with a bibliography of his works, and tributes from his friends and colleagues.

Review of Problems in Application of Supersonic Combustion

The problem of air-breathing engines capable of flying at very high Mach numbers is described briefly. Possible performance of supersonic combustion ramjets is outlined briefly and the supersonic combustion process is described. Two mechanisms of combustion are outlined: one is supersonic combustion controlled by convection process, and the second is controlled by diffusion. The parameters related to the combustion process are discussed in detail. Data and analyses of reaction rates and mixing phenomena are represented; the flame mechanism is discussed, and experimental results are presented.
