“…According to Waltrup 13 , promoters that did perform well in engine tests contained toxic, pyrophoric or carcinogenic components that were unacceptable. References to US work with chemical ignition promoters can be found in Waltrup's article, that by Hunt et al, 14…”

Supersonic combustion data obtained at the low static temperatures appropriate for an efficient scramjet engine are reviewed. Attention is directed at the methods by which the fuel was ignited and combustion maintained. The cited supersonic combustion experiments are grouped under the six headings: chemical intiators; non-uniform flows; turbulent flameholding; combustion induced compression; partial subsonic combustion and plasma sources. The paper is drawn from the NATO RTO AVT WG10 report on technologies for propelled hypersonic flight which aims to summarise the state of the art, identifying the key issues still hindering scramjet development.

The purpose of the paper is to discuss us trends in the design of tactical les which influence the future direcof missile aerodynamics. Some of the cts discussed include airframe-inlet erence, high angle of attack problems, iders, efficient hypersonic missiles, tationai fluid dynamics applied to le aerodynamics, aerothermal design upersonic stores. A number of fie areas where increased emphasis is d in missile aerodynamics are sted r\-• ".
