Examples of ramjet
ramjet
These missiles travel faster than the speed of sound, usually using ramjet engines.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A key trait of ramjet engines is that combustion is done at subsonic speeds.

If Roger ramjet ups his game as he keeps telling us hes going to then we might be ok.
From the expressandstar.com
One common engine is the ramjet, which uses the geometry of the engine to slow air down.
From the newscientist.com
Like a ramjet, they consist of an inlet, a combustor, and a nozzle.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It's powered by a booster, and by a scramjet, which is short for supersonic combustion ramjet.
From the ocregister.com
A ramjet-powered anti-aircraft missile was proposed to destroy launcher aircraft at long range.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The Bussard ramjet, suggested by physicist Robert Bussard in 1960, neatly solves this problem.

Therefore ramjet engines are limited to approximately Mach 5.

- A simple type of jet engine; must be launched at high speed
- A ramjet, sometimes referred to as a stovepipe jet, or an athodyd, is a form of jet engine using the engine's forward motion to compress incoming air, without a rotary compressor. Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed and thus cannot move an aircraft from a standstill.
- Gage Reinhart is a fictional comic book superhero, a member of the superhero team Dynamo 5, which appears in the monthly series of the same name from Image Comics. Created by writer Jay Faerber and artist Mahmud A. Asrar, he first appeared in Dynamo 5 #1 (January 2007).
- Ramjet is the name of several fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. All have been Decepticon aligned characters who turn into jets, usually white.
- An aerodynamic duct in which fuel is burned to produce a high-velocity propulsive jet. It needs to be accelerated to high speed before it can become operative.
- A type of jet engine with very few moving parts which consists of a specially shaped tube open at both ends.
- [JP 1-02] (DoD, NATO) A jet-propulsion engine containing neither compressor nor turbine which depends for its operation on the air compression accomplished by the forward motion of the engine. See also pulsejet.
- Jet engine with no moving parts, only works at supersonic speeds because then the inlet air is already compressed, often used in missiles in combination with rocket boosters for acceleration
- Is a retired mercenary possessing superhuman strength and the power of flight. He first appeared upon being recalled from a deep-cover mission. Ramjet was later part of the Shadow Cabinet operatives ordered to destroy the Heroes.
