New article reproducing a Johns Hopkins study of a strategic ram jet missile done for the Air Force in August 1946 is now up on <a href="http://retromechanix.com/articles/aerospace/johns-hopkins-long-range-ram-jet-missile-study-1946/">RetroMechanix.com</a>:
The study examines the powered range of a family of ram-jet propelled vehicles to determine the effect of various propulsion parameters and schemes. The accompanying gallery features 9 images, including inboard profiles and artwork of the 4 configurations considered. Each configuration was evaluated in 3 sizes, ranging from 40 to 80 ft in length. Note the unusual reverse delta wing, which showed promise at the time but has since been largely abandoned.
