The present invention concerns a fuel injection device for ramjets for supersonic and/or hypersonic aircraft, said ramjet comprising a combustion supporting gas inlet and, downstream thereof, a combustion chamber and a nozzle adapted to channel gases leaving the combustion chamber. In accordance with the invention, the injection device includes at least one injector having a structure with a plurality of spaced walls extending generally along the longitudinal axis of the ramjet body, fuel being injected into each space formed by two adjacent walls of said plurality of walls and at the downstream end of said structure.

[ There is claimed:] [1.] A fuel injection device for a ramjet for supersonic and/or hypersonic aircraft, designed to operate over a wide range of speeds, said ramjet comprising, in a body having a longitudinal axis, a combustion supporting gas inlet and, downstream thereof, in the direction of flow of a jet of gas, a combustion chamber in which combustion supporting gas is mixed with fuel to be burned, and a nozzle adapted to channel gases leaving said combustion chamber, said fuel injection device being provided in said combustion chamber and including at least one injector comprising:a profiled member having a plurality of spaced walls extending generally along said longitudinal axis of said ramjet body, wherein pairs of said walls form the wings of said profiled member that is substantially U-shape in cross section;first injection orifices provided in an upstream part of said profiled member for injecting fuel into each space formed by two adjacent walls of said plurality of walls, said first injection orifices opening onto a top face of a core of said profiled member; andsecond injection orifices provided at a downstream part of said profiled member for injecting fuel at the downstream end of said injector, the combustion modes of said ramjet being controlled by altering the distribution of the flowrates of fuel injected by said first and second injection orifices.
