Description
To-date, the realization of high-performance rocket propulsion systems in small thrust classes (~100lbf) has largely been limited by the inability to create small-scale, regeneratively-cooled, pump-fed engines. Ventions proposes to overcome this limitation by using a novel fabrication technique to realize significant weight and volume savings in a baseline interceptor with high T/W for MDA missions requiring large Delta V and acceleration.
