A series of tests has been carried out to investigate the effects of various scale parameters on the direct connect scramjet combustor performance. The calculated combustion efficiency appears to be independent of scale for the same geometry, but tests with more precise scaling of the entire combustor are required to verify this. Combustion, however, can be strongly dependent on geometry for the same scale. It is suggested that the beneficial aspects of certain geometric or scale variations can be combined to improve the overall performance.
