Re: Indian Missiles News and Discussions - May 2017
PTAE-7 engine was made with re-use in mind in fact it has been tested for splash down in sea , recovery and then re-use so from material pov it was not conceived for one time use per se , all in all there is room to make it cheaper but that is probably not a priority item.

Brahmos is ram jet powered it requires the missile to be accelerated above Mach 1 before the main motor kicks in ; so when you employ a VLS you have to get the missile air-frame aligned correctly prior to main SRB kicking so that you get to ram jet phase in most efficient manner.

PTAE-7 is iffy imo as it has a very high SFC (1.15 kg./kg.f/hr) as against about <0.7 kg/(kgf∙h) for NPO-Saturn's 36MT so despite thrust figures being close range and loiter time will be have to be compromised ; not that we should let the perfect come in the way of good but then if PTAE-7 indeed wor...
