>What is the difference between turbojet, ramjet, and scramjet?
Turbojet is a type of jet engine that uses a turbine to compress incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber, where it is mixed with fuel and ignited to produce thrust.
Ramjet is a type of jet engine that uses the forward motion of the aircraft to compress incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber, where it is mixed with fuel and ignited to produce thrust.
Scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is a type of jet engine that uses supersonic airflow to compress incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber, where it is mixed with fuel and ignited to produce thrust. The main difference between the three is the method of compression used to compress the incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber.
