On a different note: I was in Taiwan a few months ago, and I read in the local news that The Taiwanese military have successfully flight trial their supersonic missiles, powered by maybe ram jet or pulse jet (they didn't say in the non-technical papers). If that was true, that made them (the Taiwanese) the thirdcountry in the world to have successfully made a ramjet engine, after the USA and Russian.
Sorry, can't allow that statement to stand.
What about the BRITISH built ramjets such as the RR/Bristol Thor as used on the Bloodhound SAM back in the 60's ?
Sorry - VERY proud of British achievements
