Nuclear Ramjet Propulsion System Applied Research and Advanced Technology (Project Pluto). Volume 5. Propulsion System Test Planning and Ground Test Facility Studies

Abstract

Test planning studies in this report present the concept of test programs, their scope, test objectives, probable testing schedule, estimated number of test weeks and test runs, existing facilities which can be utilized, and test conditions. The schedule and test plans presented are based upon the program outlined in the Air Force Development/Plan for Pluto. Flight engine ground test facility criteria are updated to reflect the latest facility studies and test planning. The site selection core drilling program and underground air storage experiment are described.
