THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF HIGH-ACCELERATION SOLID-PROPELLANT ROCKETS,

Abstract

A simplified self-consistent method for the study of high-acceleration solid-propellant rockets was developed. 'High acceleration' means values of acceleration approaching the theoretical upper limit. This limit is determined primarily by the structural material strength and density, the payload, the stage burnout velocity, and the weight burning rate and specific impulse of the available propellant.
