Please note that "Argus As 014 Staustrahltriebwerke" translates into
"Argus As 014 RAMJET"
And NO, a gas turbine is NOT closer to a RAMJET than a Pulsejet
because neither the Ramjet or its primitive form, the pulsejet have a
compressor or turbine. My original comments on the pulsejet has always
been that the Germans were the ones that called it an intermittent
ramjet, or athodyd.

Rob, you CANNOT tell about principles of how something works coming from
clasification only.
Please analyze following example: gliders, aircraft and helicopters (and
many others too) belong to the same group of vehicles called AERODYNES. Do
they work the same way? Can you tell 'glider is a simplified aircraft'?
Maybe. Can you tell 'helicopter is something like glider, but more
complicated'? SURELY NOT!

Ramjets and pulsejets (and turbojets, and turboprops and turbofans...)
belong to the group 'Strahltriebwerke'. Do they work the same way? NOT!
Common is only that some airstream ('Strahl') is coming into, gain some
energy (combustion) and goes out doing some useful work (direct thrust or
shp). All but one are working in the same thermodynamic combustion cycle:
constant pressure combustion. You guess WHICH one is different? YES, the
pulsejets are working in the constant volume combustion cycle.
'Staustrahltriebwerk' means only that incomin air is compressed in
aerodynamical way - withot use of any mechanically driven compressors. AFAIK
scramjets belong to the same 'Staustrahltriebwerke' branch of the general
'Strahltriebwerke' group. Do you see much common features between pulsejets
and scramjets?
