Rocket and ramjet propellants.

摘要

The present invention relates to a general method for increasing the energy conversion from metal-containing rocket and ramjet propellants. According to the invention, this is achieved by means of combining the combustion of the fuel with exothermic intermetallic alloying reactions between components incorporated in the fuel. The invention also concerns rocket and ramjet propellants formulated in accordance with the abovementioned method.
