HYDROGEN PEROXIDE BASED PROPULSION SYSTEM

摘要

A micro air vehicle comprising fuel tank connected to a region adapted to decompose hydrogen peroxide, and a nozzle adapted to exit the decomposition products of hydrogen peroxide to provide thrust. Preferably provide a hydrocarbon fuel is used to consume oxygen from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Also an engine comprising a tank adapted to contain hydrogen peroxide, a decomposition region/chamber suitable for decomposing hydrogen peroxide, a nozzle to accelerate the resulting decomposition products, and a turbofan located downstream of the exit of said nozzle, and located within a duct so as to provide propulsive thrust.
