Testing of the Strutjet RBCC Engine
Abstract
The testing of the Strutjet Rocket-Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) engine is described in this presentation. Since 1996 Aerojet has conducted thousands of tests on its Strutjet RBCC Engine. The Strutjet is specifically designed as an RBCC engine. The tests included: (1) Inlet, (2) Rocket Checkouts, (3) Direct Connect Mach 6 and 8, and (4) Freejet M = 0, 2.4, 4.1. The modes tested include: (1) Air Augmented Rocket (AAR), (2) Ramjet (3) Scramjet (4) Scram/Rocket (5) Ascent/Rocket. The Strutjet RBCC engine has been tested across the complete airbreathing trajectory. The presentation shows the results of the tests, through diagrams, charts and pictures.
