The applicability of ram rockets for the propulsion of high altitude missiles was investigated. As a power plant for the cruising phase of high altitude supersonic missiles, rockets and ram rockets are competing with each other. The conditions are shown, under which the ram rocket is superior. The influence of mission and power plant parameters on the payload of both kinds of power plants is investigated. The advantage of the combination booster - ram rocket over a two stage rocket under altitude conditions is pointed out. The advantage may increase, if the booster acceleration is finished before reaching the cruise velocity, and the ram rocket is continuing the acceleration. At a definite booster and velocity the payload becomes a maximum. The control regimes of the ram rocket combustion chamber, being necessary to maintain the maximum conditions, are shown.
