THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GOSLING II SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTOR

Abstract

The development of a motor in which the cordite charge of the Gosling I is replaced by a casebonded plastic propellent is described. Using the same motor tube an increase of 40% in total impulse was obtained, with a motor operating reliably within the temperature limits -5 to 50 C. These limits are sufficiently wide for a boost motor in the development phases of a guided missile or high speed test vehicle.
