The As 014 was basically a pipe with a series of spring valves at front, cycling at 40-45Hz. Air was let in by the front valves and fuel injected; the detonation of the mixture closed the valves and produces forward thrust. The intertia of the escaping gas reduced the internal pressure enough to open the valves again. A single spark-plug was used for starting. The As 014 was simple and reliable, but caused strong vibrations. Type: As 014 Year: Country: Germany Configuration: Pulse jet.
