Abstract This chapter provides a general description of propulsion systems suitable for missiles. These systems are solid- and liquid-fuelled rockets, liquid-fuelled ramjets, solid fuel ducted rockets (ramrockets), and scramjets. Concise summaries about testing are also given, and mention is made of a scramjet test facility developed by the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) in Hyderabad, India. This facility is part of the DRDL hypersonic programme entitled ‘Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle’ (HSTDV).
