Abstract
The power unit of ram-jet type comprises an aerobic combustion chamber supplied by a fuel gas generator and by at least one air intake. The gas generator is essentially constituted by a solid propellent whose combustion generates a reducing gas and starting means are provided so that there occurs upstream or at the intake of the combustion chamber a primary combustion which raises the temperature of the air to a value such that stable combustion is produced between the oxidizing air and the reducing gases.
