CHAPTER 1 : OVERVIEW OF NATO BACKGROUND ON SCRAMJET TECHNOLOGY

The purpose of the present overview is to summarise the current knowledge of the NATO contributors. All the topics will be addressed in this chapter, with references and some examples. This background enhances the level of knowledge of the NATO scramjet community, which will be used for writing the specific chapters of the Report. Some previous overviews have been published on scramjet technology worldwide. One of the most documented within the available overviews on scramjet technology worldwide is [D1] from Dr. Tom Curran.
