The new engine type 'ROCSCRAM', abbreviation of rocket - ramjet - scramjct combined engine shows launch capability and flying cababiiity up to M = 12. It produces a specific impulse between 4,000 m/s up to 24,000 m/s. The paper discusses the gasdynamic losses of gas- molecular air compression , mixing and deflection, fuel and water injection toward the diffusor, fluid compression inside the diffusor and burning in the ram- /scramjet combustion chamber. Finally, the performance of the engine type and its efficiencies arc calculated.
