"At Le Bourget, Volvo Flygmotor presented its RRX-5 propulsion system, which consists of an integrated ramjet in which the combustion chamber initially contains a charge of gunpowder to propel the aircraft up to the start-up speed of the ramjet, which then uses the empty chamber. This propulsion system is very compact and will make it possible to achieve, with any payload, very high performance at the lowest cost, with very interesting efficiency."

Thank you! So it's ramjet with internal start booster?

I think the idea is that it's an integrated ramjet in which the combustion chamber when empty. The ramjet uses it. In the end it's 2 in 1. ramjet with internal start booster.
