Why don't planes use pulsejets? - Aviation Stack Exchange
Dec 30, 2015 · Here is an example where I've labelled a DC-10 of what a pulsejet with jet engine plane could look like: The plane would taxi onto the runway using the jet engine as power, it'd then line up on the runway. It'd then power its jet engine and take off. Shortly after take off it would switch to the pulse engines and optionally turn the jet engine off.
combustion - Would a pulsejet/turbine hybrid be efficient?
Apr 29, 2022 · Unlike the pulsejet, the piston engines compresses air (the second stage of the combustion cycle on the picture). From what I could find , in normal turbine engines (like turbofan, turbojet, turboshaft, etc.) the combustion chamber works by a continuous flow of extremely compressed air that continuously expands towards the back, spinning the ...
How to start up a Lockwood-Hiller Valveless Pulse Jet?
Nov 12, 2019 · $\begingroup$ I’m using this ignited cloth because it seemed to work with some other material here: youtu.be/qwuDkOB9Jik Also, colin furze (some youtuber) made a lockwood hiller pulsejet and one of the ways he started the engine was simply by igniting the intake with a torch, given that the gas is flowing out of the intake, which he recommends that the gas is flowing out of the intake ...
How big can a pulsejet be? - Aviation Stack Exchange
Nov 12, 2019 · At the point where the structural rigidity needed to overcome the vibration of a single enormous pulse train becomes so heavy that the aircraft can't fly anymore, replace the single large pulsejet with several smaller ones, whose individual pulses are smaller.

Are there any planes that have ramjet or scramjet engines?
Oct 16, 2017 · If you accept a pulsejet as a kind of ram jet, the next manned, ramjet powered flight used a Heinkel 280. This plane was designed as a jet fighter but the engines were delayed. Therefore, in 1943 it was decided to try it out with pulsejets, two on each side. It had to be towed aloft and when the jets were started, their vibration shook the ...
