Does anyone have any information on research and experimentation into solid-fueled expendable turbojets?
[NB Please don't litter the post-wall with endless accounts of German coal fuelled ram-jets and pulse detonation engines, (yawn), yeah, yeah, yeah I already know about this. If you're dying to bang on about these then start another post. This post SPECIFICALLY concerns aviation gas turbines.
As an aside, America extensively researched coal-fired gas turbines for locomotive use but abandoned the project due to the un-solvable problem of premature turbine blade erosion caused by fly-ash particulates.
