Abstract:Lateral thrusters are small, short-duration rocket motor mounted on the lateral side of the missile to provide a force able to change the missile's direction. In the present paper, a design and experimental evaluation of a solid propellant thruster is considered. The design starts from technical requirements, internal ballistic calculation, thruster prototype manufacturing and finally static tests on a static test bench to evaluate its internal pressure profile. In design, the propellant imperfections are cons… Show more
