METHOD FOR TRANSFER OF WORKING FLUID FOR ENGINES OF SPACECRAFTS AND SYSTEM OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B64G1/40 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method is implemented with the help of a system that comprises spacecraft (SC) with a ramjet engine (1) and device (2) for storage of working fluid (one of fuel components). A fuelling aircraft (FA) (3) is also provided with system (4) for discharge of working fluid (another component of fuel). System (4) generates a stabilised jet (5) of working fluid by means of one or several linear elements (threads, tapes, etc.) or on the basis of condensed liquids and hard materials or by combination of hard materials with liquid and/or gaseous substances. According cord (5) is produced, which is used once or multiply. According to method, preliminary start-up of SC with ramjet engine (1) and FA (3) with a storage of working fluid (component) is carried out. At specified height working fluid in the form of cords (5), density of which exceeds density of ambient air, is discharged from FA. At the same time SC and FA approach each other with a speed that exceeds speed of working fluid discharge. Cords (5) are sent to ramjet engine (1), where fuel components are mixed and burnt, creating traction force (provided that pulse of combustion products that outflow from jet engine nozzle (1) exceeds pulse of absorbed jets - cords (5)).

EFFECT: reduced costs of freight delivery to space.
