Propulsion system of missiles is composite of engine, induction and exhaust system, engine installation, and fuel system; for region of flight within earth's atmosphere and speeds up to Mach 4 air-breathing engines are most efficient for many applications, gas turbine is superior to ramjet or turbojet, ramjet and rocket; high performance can be attained by matching fixed geometry inlet and exhaust system with engine characteristics.
