Evaluation of a Strut-Plasma Torch Combination as a Supersonic Igniter-Flameholder

As the flight speeds of aircraft are increased above Mach 5, efficient methods of propulsion are needed. Scramjets may be a solution to this problem. Supersonic combustion is one of the main challenges involved in the operation of a Scramjet engine. In general, both an igniter and a flameholder a...
