Trade Aerospike Nozzle #3

Closed cmflannery closed 7 years ago

cmflannery commented 7 years ago

Determine the feasibility of using aerospike nozzle. The intention of using an aerospike nozzle is to decrease max velocity.

Trade study should detail the mass penalty, efficiency costs/gains, manufacturing difficulties, and financial costs of using an aerospike over a conventional converging, diverging nozzle.

CFD analysis should be completed on the aerospike nozzle and compared to the analysis results from the conventional nozzle.

The directory standard is being created by Cameron and Bill. The directory where this project lives will be added to the description once it has been worked out.
