PTAH-SOCAR Fuel-cooled Composite Materials Structure for Dual-Mode Ramjet and Liquid Rocket Engines

Abstract

In a first step, several cooled panels, obtain by Vapor Chemical Deposition process, have been successfully tested at MAI in Moscow. By another a U-shaped part has been developed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of a complete combustion chamber in a single part. A large activity has been also led to characterize the obtained materials from the point of view of mechanics but also of permeability considering that the ability to control the porosity of the cooled structure skin is a key point for the feasibility of such fuel-cooled structure of combustion chamber.
