 stract: \n Details: \n Nowadays there is a growing demand for improvement 
 in rocket and air-breathing performance and safety. There is a huge potent
 ial in combining ramjet engines with gel fuel that can carry boron particl
 es. Ramjet engines combined with gel fuel and metal additives can be used 
 for tactical missiles that can\, theoretically\, reach strategic missile r
 anges. Gel fuels combine the benefits of both liquid and solid fuels\, in 
 terms of safety and performance.  Moreover\, they allow addition of metal
  particles without sedimentation\, thus increasing the energetic performan
 ce.\nIn order to experimentally verify the feasibility of such a concept\,
  a lab-scale Ramjet combustor was designed and built and a parametric inve
 stigation was conducted. The test facility included a vitiated air heater 
 to simulate flight conditions and a fuel supply system. The fuel that was 
 used in this research was a kerosene-based gel fuel\, combined with boron 
 powder. More than 150 valid tests were conducted which included various bo
 ron loadings. The parametric investigation included the effect of pressure
 \, boron content\, fuel/air ratio and more. The experimental results indic
 ate that the concept of the Gel Fuel Ramjet combustor is feasible. Recomme
 ndations for additional research that should be conducted in the future wi
 ll be presented at the end of the talk.
