Analytical and Numerical Feasibility Analysis of a Contra-Rotary Ramjet Engine

A new idea for a contra-rotary ramjet engine is presented. To define the theoretical limits of the non-typical, contra-rotary ramjet engine configuration, its analytical model was developed. The results obtained from that model and the analytical results were compared with those received from numeri...
