Tactical Ballistic Missile Study - Rocket Engine Swiveling Requirements

Abstract

The report describes design studies performed to determine the hydraulic system requirements for swiveling the second stage rocket engines (thrust, 44,250 lbs.) of the 5500 nautical mile ballistic missile. The torque requirements for swiveling the rocket engines and the estimated weights of the hydraulic system components are included in this study.
