Abstract
A ramjet engine and system and method for operation is generally provided. The ramjet includes a longitudinal wall extended along a lengthwise direction. The longitudinal wall defines an inlet section, a combustion section, and an exhaust section. A fuel nozzle assembly is extended from the longitudinal wall. The fuel nozzle assembly defines a nozzle throat area. The fuel nozzle assembly is moveable along a radial direction to adjust the nozzle throat area based at least on a difference in pressure of a flow of fluid at an inlet of the inlet section and a pressure of the flow of fluid at the fuel nozzle assembly.
