Turbo/air-augmented rocket - A combined cycle propulsion system
TLDR
In this paper, a new concept of combined cycle propulsion system is proposed, in which a turbojet (or turbofan) type engine provides compressed air as part or the whole oxidizer to the rocket engine at takeoff and part of the acceleration and climb.Abstract:
A new concept of combined cycle propulsion system is proposed. In the proposed system, a turbojet (or turbofan) type engine provides compressed air as part or the whole oxidizer to the rocket engine at takeoff and part of the acceleration and climb. At the same time, the turbo-engine provides a portion of the thrust. The system performance shows little sensitivity to rocket chamber pressure, shows comparable performance to turbojet, and is capable to shifting to pure rocket mode at any desired point in the flight trajectory.read more
