METHOD OF CREATING THRUST OF HYPERSONIC FLYING VEHICLE IN CRUISING ATMOSPHERE FLIGHT CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: aeronautical and space engineering. SUBSTANCE: method of creating thrust of hypersonic flying vehicle in cruising atmosphere flight conditions is based on mixing part of hydrocarbon fuel with water, heating this mixture to t= 300-400 C and decomposition of it by catalyst accompanied by forming of methane-containing products which are than heated to t> 400 C and are subjected to decomposition by catalyst accompanied by forming of hydrogen-containing mixture to which remaining hydrocarbon fuel is added before burning in combustion chamber; before burning the fuel in the combustion chamber, air flow is ionized and is acted on by magnetic field. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2 cl, 1 dwg
