2. Supersonic combustion, application to propulsion: a problem to be solved
The main practical problem to be solved when using supersonic combustion in combustion chambers is to maintain a dimension for the combustion chamber which, taking into account the various characteristic times controlling mixing, ignition and combustion, remains compatible with that required for its use in aircraft or missile propulsion.
in the case of a hypersonic aircraft, a length of 3 meters for this combustion chamber seems a maximum
