The RBCC, or Rocket-Based Combined Cycle propulsion system, is one of the two types of propulsion systems that may be tested in the Boeing X-43 experimental aircraft. The RBCC, or strutjet as it is sometimes called, is a combination propulsion system that consists of a ramjet, scramjet, and ducted rocket, where all three systems use a shared flow path.〔(Sketch of a RBCC propulsion system (scroll down to 7th picture) )〕 It has been speculated that aerospace engineer Richard Foster originally introduced the term RBCC into the aerospace nomenclature. A TBCC, or Turbine Based Combined Cycle propulsion system, is a turbine engine combined with a ramjet and scramjet.〔(Sketch of a TBCC propulsion system (scroll down to 5th picture) )〕 A TRCC, or Turbo Rocket Combined Cycle propulsion system, is another combination propulsion system that combines an afterburning turbine engine with a RBCC propulsion system.〔(Sketch of a TRCC propulsion system (scroll down to 9th picture) )〕 ==See also== * air-augmented rocket * SABRE (Synergistic Air Breathing Rocket Engine) a pre-cooled air-breathing rocket/RAM-jet engine based on General Dynamics' exploration of LACE concepts (Liquid Air Cycle Engine) developed by Reaction Engines, UK, scheduled for first delivery 2019.〔http://www.reactionengines.co.uk/press_release/3a_Milestone_Release_PUBLIC27Jan2015.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rocket-based combined cycle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
