Solar PJ32 pulsejet
Solar PJ32 is a 1951 pulsejet developed by Solar Aircraft Company for the Globe Corporation aircraft division and studied in NASA propulsion research as a 1/5-scale model of the Argus V-1 pulsejet. The documented test article is a self-aspirating valved unit using liquid fuel; reported thrust values are test-condition measurements, not a universal rating.
