SECOND PARTIAL REPORT ON RESEARCH ON ROCKET PROPULSION OF PROJECTILES
Abstract
This report covers the experiments in static test apparatus of the burning of gasoline with oxygen or nitrous oxide to attempt to determine if fuels of this nature and the mechanisms for using them appear to be practical for use in a rocket propelled projectile. While fairly satisfactory control of burning was obtained, the high heat resulting and the complication of the means necessary for using a liquid fuel and gas indicate that this means of propulsion is not practical in small projectiles, though possibly in those of large size it might be successfully used.
