For supersonic and hypersonic flight conditions with ramjets, trajectory calculations have to be coupled with the engine performances. In space transportation systems ramjet will be used in a relatively wide range of Mach numbers, and therefore not always near the optimum design point. Optimization of several physical parameters along the trajectory will be inevitable. Some of these parameters are discussed along with their importance for an ascent trajectory, having a minimum fuel requirement.
