  • Combustion chamber structure and its manufacturing process
    Patent number: 6889496
    Abstract: A combustion chamber structure for a rocket engine or the like, has a combustion chamber liner with cooling channels and at least one manifold for feeding and removing a coolant, particularly a cryogenic fuel. The at least one manifold is brazed together with the combustion chamber liner and the area of the combustion chamber liner that is not covered by the at least one manifold is coated with an electroplated structural jacket. The invention also includes a method for manufacturing the combustion chamber structure.
    Type: Grant

  • High temperature heat shield system
    Patent number: 4925134
    Abstract: A high temperature heat shield system for re-entry vehicles and high speed ircraft is assembled from separate insulating panels made of metal foil layers diffusion soldered together and with a ceramic fiber material filled into interspaces between the metal foil layers. In this arrangement structural metal foil layers carry mechanical loads while separate reflecting foil layers and the ceramic fiber material are non-load bearing.
