Internal combustion catapult

摘要: An internal combustion catapult for loads such as an aircraft using much of the conventional steam system in that existing elongated launch tube is utilized with movable piston. The generation may be replaced and a plurality combustors positioned at aft end facing trailing Each these includes injector assembly supplying combustible propellant. At least one igniter operatively respect to combustor ignite propellant form hot gases high pressure project piston down aircraft. A water manifold injects into cool them propel tube. composed of, example, hydroxylammonium nitrate hydrocarbon fuel or bipropellant organic substances oxidizer ammonium nitrate, hydrazine, nitrogen tetroxide liquid oxygen.
