Lightweight Chambers for Thrust Cell Applications

This is a viewgraph presentation which reviews the progress in the development of lightweight chambers for thrust cell applications. The objective of the program is to reduce thrust assembly weights to create lighter engines which will allow for an increase in the payload. Using new composite materials and fabrication technologies the team has constructed 7 different thrust cell demonstration units. The materials used in the demonstration units are reviewed.
