Development of low cost fabrication techniques for large solid rocket nozzles
Property measurements and fabrication characteristics were determined and the performance in subscale (Minuteman Wing 2 second stage) motors was evaluated. It was demonstrated that the incorporation of low cost fabrication techniques in a full scale 260 in. nozzle could result in savings of $149,000 when compared with an identical design using tape-wrapped components throughout.
