Ramjet and ScramJet Technology
A
ramjet engine is a mechanically simple aerospace engine
that creates thrust by burning fuel similarly to a normal
jet-aircraft engine. The big difference between a jet engine
and a ramjet is that a jet-turbine uses fans to compress
air to optimize combustion, and a ramjet creates air-compression
by the forward motion of air through a partially-restricted
intake system. Ramjets have no moving parts, which is a
big advantage in comparison to the delicate turbine blades
in a normal jet-engine, however ramjet engines typically
are not very efficient below speeds of Mach 2. click

A
ScramJet is a 'Supersonic Combustion Ramjet' -- this device
is built to function very similarly to a ramjet with the
exception that it may burn hydrogen as a fuel instead of
conventional jet-fuel. Because of the different fuel and
an optmized design, a ScramJet engine is capable of hypersonic
speeds of Mach 6 and above. click

EG Hypersonic Enhancement
One
of the most important ways that the Biefeld-Brown Effect
and high-voltage EG-technology can help scramjet and hypersonic
aircraft is through a reduction in the boundary layer during
flight. Experimentation by Jean-Louis Naudin and American
Antigravity has shown that ions charged by a high-voltage
readily penetrate the boundary-layer of air surrounding
objects, which produces a "standing-state wind-chill"
effect in laboratory experiments.
Naudin
conducted tests using a heavy oil-medium instead of air
to actually demonstrate the reduction in boundary-layer
effects resulting from the application of the Biefeld-Brown
to airfoil design.
This
research and experimentation concluded that for a normal
aircraft wing, which experiences a great-deal of instability
from boundary-layer effects at hypersonic speeds, the Biefeld-Brown
effect can actually reduce the layer of air in front of
the wing to a great degree, thereby allowing the wing to
pass more easily through the air. The resulting decreased
air-resistance allows higher fuel-efficiency, more power,
and greater flight-range, as well as enhancing the pilot's
ability to control the aircraft.
Jean-Louis
Naudin has published an excellent description of the effect
of EG on supersonic flows on the JLN-Labs website. click
