PROPELLANT COMPOSITION CONTAINING BERYLLIUM HYDRIDE, NITROCELLULOSE AND NITRATE CO-PLASTICIZERS

摘要

A composite, double-base, solid rocket propellant composition which utilizes beryllium hydride as a high energy fuel in combination with a nitro-nitrate ester plasticizer. The particular ester plasticizer used in the propellant composition serves to produce the high non-equilibrium flame temperatures needed for attaining high beryllium hydride combustion efficiencies.
