Abstract
The metallic wall of the combustion chamber of a combined rocket-ramjet engine is lined with solid ramjet fuel overlaid with rocket fuel. After the consumption of the rocket fuel in the boost portion of the flight the solid ramjet fuel burns and ablates protecting the metallic combustion chamber wall from high temperatures during the cruise phase of the missile flight.
