RAM Recovery

RAM Recovery refers to an increase in the thrust of an engine due to the effect of ram air pressures and density at its front caused by air velocity. It is the phenomenon by which the air entering the engine is compressed, which increases the pressure and density of the air supply, ultimately increasing the engine’s efficiency and power output. The RAM Recovery is essential in high-speed airplanes, particularly for military aircraft, to increase thrust in air combat or evade enemy missiles during a dogfight. Engines with RAM Recovery are specifically designed to take advantage of the properties of the air entering them and to convert that energy into increased performance. The ability to recover RAM energy enables the engine to be more efficient at producing thrust at high altitudes, where the air pressure is lower. The RAM Recovery is a critical feature of modern aircraft engines that allows them to perform efficiently and effectively at high speeds and altitude.
