Consider the following pairs of engine and defining feature:

Ramjet - No compressor or turbine

Scramjet - Combustion in supersonic flow

Rocket - Carries its own oxidiser

Turbofan - No compressor

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.Only three
  • B.Only one
  • C.Only two
  • D.All four

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only three

Ramjet, scramjet and rocket are all correctly characterised. The fourth is wrong: a turbofan certainly has a compressor, along with a fan and a turbine driving both. It is the ramjet that has neither compressor nor turbine, relying on ram compression alone - which is why it cannot produce thrust at rest.
