Zusammenfassung:For tactical systems operating within the atmosphere, ramjet propulsion offers significant advantages over conventional rocket propulsion systems (i.e., those which carry both fuel and oxidizer). The principal advantages -- increased range or greater payload at fixed range -- result from the intrinsic high specific impulse (Isp) associated with ramjets, which only need to carry fuel (the oxidizer being obtained from the atmosphere) for their propulsion.
