1 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Stephan Shurn 31 January 2008 Propulsion Thrust Vector Control

2 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control (LITVC)  Works for all engines, especially solid and hybrid  Extra weight for plumbing and injectors  Good for flows due to no parts within exhaust stream Propulsion

3 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Gimballing Propulsion Future Work  MAT code testing  Weight and cost data for TVC  More complexity with Solid/Hybrid due to sealing  Flexible seal gimbals for solid/hybrid  Better for liquid due to combustion chamber and nozzle vectoring as a unit

4 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Backup Propulsion
