a Combination engine is Jetengine & Ramjet
the Jetengine push aircraft on speed until the Ramjet takes over and goes supersonic
so wat ? the Concorde hat Olympus 593 Mk 610 afterburning turbojets to get Mach 2.2
yes that true, but Ramjet have one big advance: Reduction of the fuel consumption !
means lower fuel & operating cost or bigger range for Concorde
pushing the range of 3690 to 4079 miles (from 5938 km to 6.564 km)
the Concorde Combination engine can fly over Pacific Ocean: L.A. - Honolulu - Tokyo or Hong Kong
So how would look the Jetset World with a cheaper longrange Concorde ?
P.s the SR-71 used simelar principe with J-58-1 Engine
