Under a joint program between the 6585 Test Group/TK and the Ramjet and Laser Aerodynamics Division of the Aero Propulsion Laboratory, an existing monorail test sled was modified to accept the SCP/LASRM test vehicle. The necessary structural modifications were made to the SCP/LASRM hardware to withstand the applied loads imposed by the sled. The feasibility of ramjet engine test capability on the Holloman Sled Track was confirmed by comparison of ramjet performance data obtained during high speed sled tests to that available from previous ground freejet and flight tests with this engine. Propulsion performance data over the Mach range 2.3 to 2.5 at zero degree angle of attack were obtained from the sled tests. (Author)
