A ramjet experiment attached to a Zuni rocket motor is launched from a launch rail in Woomera, South Australia. This footage shows the first half second of launch.
Acceleration shown in this video is approximately 60 to 70 times gravity i.e. ~650m/s². For comparison with motor vehicles, 100km/h would be reached in less than 0.05 sec at this acceleration.
UQ Ramjet 2007 designed by Mark Frendo, Birte Haker, Patrick Huynh and Ben Smith.
