<p>A gas gun-launched, propulsion-assisted scramjet projectile adapted to be fired from a gun, preferably at velocities greater than Mach 5, includes a body with an external compression section, an internal compression section, a combustion section, a nozzle section, and means for channeling ambient fluid to an engine in one of the sections of the body, the channeling means and the body cooperating with the engine to produce thrust greater than drag when the projectile travels at velocities greater than Mach 5. The projectile further includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced stabilization fins located at the nozzle region of the body and a sabot assembly releasably secured to the rear portion of the body, where the sabot assembly includes a plurality of elements joined together about the body rear portion to form a housing for protecting the body rear portion from explosive gases in the barrel of the gun.</p> |
