THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT!
This website stands for RAMJET-WAVERIDER
This is the website of Kay Runne, independent aerospace researcher and consultant.
Resume of Kay Runne;
After finishing his studies in
mechanical and aeronautical engineering at the Technical University of Aachen
in Germany
in 1968 as a Dipl.-Ing. he spent his professional life in the aerospace field
with several companies, (FOKKER, GRAVINER, DORNIER and AIRBUS Defence & Space) and one research institution,
(DLR).
Although a specialist in
aerodynamics and thermodynamics the range of his activities included
preliminary design, system engineering and management. These activities he
undertook for the development of civil aircraft, reentry vehicles, reusable and
non-reusable launch vehicles and missiles.
He had the technical responsibility
of experimental flight tests and supervised as responsible system engineer a
number of wind tunnel and shock tube tests with DLR and ISL.
He is the author of an article on
flight tests with models of reentry vehicles and co-author of a number of
publications, some of them by the AIAA, on shock tube tests at the ISL with
models of missile seeker heads.
He has one internationally recognized patent on
his record.
In the year 2001 he retired at the
age of 65 and from that moment on he is writing documents on the subject of
the design of waverider aircraft with
ramjet propulsion.
Apart from his Dutch mother tongue
and according to his education and international experience, He speaks and
writes English, German and also French fluently.
Please find here documents and data concerning supersonic, hypersonic and space transportation, especially on aerodynamics, thermodynamics, propulsion, vehicle design and performance by clicking on the titles displayed below:
