I cleaned up the drawing of the ramjet scale data I'm working on.
The aspect ratio of the drawing is slightly off given the data provided.

Data:

Ramjet Missile overall length 135"
Inlet diameter 18"
Base diameter 22.1"
Maximum fin span 44.5"

There is also a Terrier (aka STANDARD) looking booster suggested with the same 22.1" diameter and a length of slightly more than 8'.

Total weapon length approx 20'.

My thoughts were to mount a sustainer engine where the ramjet interior narrows down, and use the expansion portion as an exhaust nozzle cone with a wrap of muffler tape for protection from damage.

A few holes punched thru the the top of the nozzle cone would allow the rammed air to flow thru and prevent any krushnick effect from the motor being placed so high up inside the cone.

It might even make a cool sound as well.

Can anyone manipulate the drawing to stretch it to the correct proportions of 135" x 22.1"?
