In this video, we showcase the real-life launch of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, highlighting its powerful ramjet propulsion system that enables it to maintain speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0.
The BrahMos uses a two-stage propulsion system:
1. Solid-Fuel Rocket Booster (First Stage):
At launch, a solid-propellant rocket booster ignites, rapidly propelling the missile through the denser layers of the atmosphere and accelerating it to supersonic speed. This is necessary because a ramjet engine cannot operate at low speeds.
2. Supersonic Ramjet Engine (Second Stage):
Once the missile reaches supersonic velocity and the booster is jettisoned, the air-breathing ramjet engine takes over. A ramjet has no moving parts like turbines or compressors. Instead, it compresses incoming high-speed air due to the missile’s own forward motion. This compressed air is mixed with liquid fuel, ignited, and expelled at high speed, generating continuous thrust.
This system is extremely efficient at supersonic speeds, allowing BrahMos to fly fast at low altitudes, hug the terrain, and avoid radar detection, making it extremely difficult to intercept.
Key Features of Ramjet Supersonic Flight:
Works only at speeds above Mach 1
High speed and fuel efficiency
Enables long-range and low-altitude cruise
Supports pinpoint accuracy
BrahMos is a joint development of India and Russia and is one of the fastest and most advanced cruise missiles in the world.
