Mystery - Exotic Propulsion
Multiple Sightings of Secret Aircraft Hint at New propulsion, AirframeDesigns, aviation Week Space Technology, 1 October 1990, page 22.

Extractions: While the depiction of an Aurora aircraft seems consistent with the confines of present technological imagination, other SR-71 follow-on prognosticators suggest more alien craft. Aviation Week & Space Technology has proposed a current black aircraft that is something akin to a 1960s Sci-Fi concept. They depict an elongated diamond shaped vehicle (one hesitates to call it an aircraft) similar to a "flattened football." The airframe's dimensions might be 110 x 69 feet. Due to intense heat, the vehicle would have a heat-streaked appearance similar to that of the space shuttle. Contrary to intuition, the aft body would appear distinctly more pockmarked than the fore sections, as if the most intense heat was experienced in this region. This vehicle would have a dual propulsion system. Jet engines buried in the fuselage would propel the vehicle to supersonic speeds, when a novel external burning mechanism would take control as the fundamental propulsion method: "In the high Mach regime, misted fuel is ejected from the fuselage midsection the 'break point' of the elongated diamond across the aft surface tiles, into the area between the fuselage and a shock wave attacked to this break. In essence, the sloping, converging aft fuselage sections form the inside of a 'nozzle' and the shock boundary constitutes the outer surface, creating an expanding exhaust effect, much like that on a conventional rocket. The fuel is ignited by surface heating or other means creating combustion that accelerates the aircraft up to the Mach 6-8 regime."

Extractions: Aerojet is also exploring applications of the Lyulka Engine Design Bureau's (Saturn Scientific Production Association) cryogenic D-57 engine and of the Khimavtomatiki Design Bureau's cryogenic RD-0120 flown by the Energiya launch vehicle. Energomash is also offering for commercial operations its small restartable RD-0161 liquid oxygen/ kerosene engine. However, by the end of 1994, none of these activities had resulted in a firm decision to employ Russian rocket engine technology in Western launch vehicles (References 340-363) . In 1993 reports did cite a clandestine sale of several RD-170 engines to the PRC (Reference 364) Another Russian space propulsion specialty garnering wide attention in the West is the use of ion thrusters on spacecraft for attitude control and orbital adjustments. Often referred to as Hall thrusters, the low-power, high-endurance, high-efficiency engines produced by the Fakel Design Bureau have been in use on USSR/CISLEO and GEO spacecraft since 1971. A joint Russian-American enterprise named International Space Technology, Inc. (ISTI) was formed to market engines such as the SPT-100. The principal partners of ISTI are Fakel, the Moscow Aviation Institute, and the US firm Loral. SEP of France joined the venture in 1993. In addition to substantial ground testing, ISTI has undertaken in-orbit test programs on both US and Russian spacecraft (References 365-375) (References 376-388) W.

Extractions: Home Update Latest Issue Gallery ... FR 3/97 by Heinrich Hemker Several manufacturers have taken the challenge and are developing new engines for single and twin-engine General Aviation aircraft. Along with European manufacturers, US companies are working on promising projects. Still, while the US partners are getting financial and technical support from a NASA program, most of the European manufacturers are working on their own risk. The Austrian company Bombardier Rotax GmbH is the uncrowned king of the engine manufacturers. The Rotax 912 has become the byword for a light aircraft engine: More than 4500 units of the 912 and 914 have been delivered since 1990. The 914F, a turbocharged version with 115 hp take-off power, was certified in September of last year. Rotax expects a sales volume of 1200 four-cylinder engines for 1997. Following a development time of more than 12 years Zoche's Aero-Diesel is now in the middle of the certification process. Two variants are under development: ZO 01A, a four-cylinder radial (140 hp), and the ZO 02A, an eight-cylinder rated at 300 hp. Michael Zoche's engine concept offers several advantages. The engines are extremely light (123 kg for the 300 hp engine) and use less fuel. Also, the vibration level is very low. The engine control via just one lever is simple and the design gives a high reliability: Carburetor icing, problems with the ignition system or vapor lock are unknown to a diesel engine. Zoche expects that the engine to be certified in 1997.

Extractions: http://www.aerospace.nasa.gov The OAT Newsletter has had articles using fuel cells in space and on remote controlled aircraft like Helios. Now, let's see how they can be used in aviation propulsion. Fuel cells offer higher energy efficiency with no emissions when compared to existing piston and turbine powerplants. A fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen as the source of energy. Under the Zero CO project, a recent feasibility study was performed on fuel cell powered light aircraft. The project's goal was two-fold: to drastically reduce or eliminate the environmental impact of subsonic air breathing propulsion system as a source of global climate change by reducing CO emissions from present day levels to zero while concurrently reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by more than a factor of five over present day levels. Both goals were aimed at reducing stress upon the earth's ozone layer.
