Request a sales quoteIntroduction to Rocket Technology focuses on the dynamics, technologies, aerodynamics, ballistics, theory of servomechanisms, principles of navigation instruments, and electronics involved in rocket technology. The publication first takes a look at the basic relationships in the theory of reactive motion; types of jet propelled aircraft and their basic construction; and types of reaction motors and their construction. Discussions focus on air breathing motors, anti-aircraft rockets, long range bombardment rockets, surface to surface, short range bombardment missiles, thrust of a rocket motor, and operating efficiency of a rocket motor. The text then examines rocket motor fuels and processes in the combustion chamber of a rocket motor. The manuscript ponders on the flow of combustion products through the nozzle of a rocket motor and forces and moments acting on the rocket in flight. Topics include stabilizing and damping moments, steering forces, aerodynamic forces, properties of supersonic nozzle, gas flow in a supersonic nozzle, cooling of liquid rocket motors, and basic laws of gas flow. The book then elaborates on rocket flight trajectory, basic principles of stabilization and steering, and ground equipment and launching devices. The publication is a valuable source of information for engineers and researchers interested in rocket technology.
