Abstract
This paper outlines the theory of radical farming in scramjets and describes the experimental scramjet model that was designed to investigate it. Experiments were conducted at two conditions; a 3MJ/kg condition corresponding to Mach 7.9 flight at an altitude of 24km and a 4MJ/kg condition corresponding to Mach 9.1 flight at an altitude of 32km. The results are presented as pressure distributions on the flowpath wall and specific impulse estimates.
