A test program was conducted to evaluate several ways of improving the altitude relight capability of a double annular ram-induction combustor designed for Mach 3.0 cruise operation. Using various techniques including two modes of simulated combustor variable geometry, altitude relights were obtained down to a pressure of 3.6 newtons per square centimeter against 7.05 newtons per square centimeter for the unmodified combustor. This was at a test condition of 0.05 reference Mach number using ambient temperature inlet air and fuel.
