The capabilities of small unmanned aircraft continue to advance across all technology areas, including propulsion. Ramjet designs have reached sizes, weights, and performance levels that make them viable powerplants for systems that require high speed for research or future operational uses. Of course, significant increases of speed create new challenges and opportunities related to autonomy as well.
