peter....

In the description portion of the patent, the author describes "Increasing Ram air temperature" as the drawback to high speed turbojet operation, then further, that the purpose of the bleed air is to cool the compressor then reinject the bleed into the ejector to be "reheated"...

My sense thus far is that rather than ennabling a Ram function, his purpose is to defeat it.....

The document resists copying, so I guess I could say:

Read the patent......

Continuing, the inventor actually suggests possible options to the turbojet problem. His "Option 3" he actually labels the "Turbo-Ramjet", which he rejects as too heavy. This option involves bypassing completely the Turbo machinery.
