Magnetohydrodynamic Control on Hypersonic Aircraft Under "Ajax" Concept

The scramjet with magnetohydrodynamic control being developed in the framework of the "Ajax" concept is considered. Model of magnetohydrodynamic generator with nonequilibrium conductivity is discussed. Simple relations for calculation of electron concentration in air plasma sustained by electron beam are proposed. A model of scramjet with magnetohydrodynamic control is considered in the one-dimensional approach. A model of inlet with magnetohydrodynamic control is considered in two-dimensional approach. It is shown that magnetohydrodynamic interaction allows one to increase specific impulse of scramjet and modify flowfield in inlet.
