ABMP Ramjet Engines
Key Features:
- The Diamond airfoil blades (ABMP Tech) protruded forward ahead of the air inlet at the leading edge-the blades are arranged in between the case of the ramjet engine and as the hub are over the peripheral surface of the inner cone body. The annular air entry volume will consist of many diamond airfoils arranged in such a way.
- A shockwave holder right after the trailing edge of the ABMP Blades (Diamond Airfoil Blades), which hold the oblique shock waves from the trailing edges of the diamond airfoil blades and reflect in between which ends with a weak normal shockwave.
- The flow path in between the engine shroud and the shell of the flame holder will be larger than the conventional model ramjet engines.
Key Benefits:
- Improved Performance and Efficiency: ABMP's design addresses boundary layer separation issues, resulting in increased efficiency and overall engine performance.
- Optimised Operational Efficiency: ABMP's design facilitates stable combustion at high flow rates by addressing ignition and residence time challenges.
- Reduced Operational Instability, Noise Signature, and Internal Component Temperatures: The improved airflow mitigates inefficiencies that cause instability, noise, and high temperatures.
- Eliminates Operational Limitations due to Strong Normal Shock Wave Oscillations/Compressor Buzz: The ABMP design avoids compressor buzz by creating multiple shockwaves, reducing disruptions caused by a single strong shockwave.
- Minimised Vibration Levels: The design ensures sufficient airflow for a cool and streamlined layer over the hot core flow, reducing vibrations.
- Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: The engine operates efficiently across a wider range of Mach speeds, overcoming limitations of conventional ramjets in subcritical conditions.
