More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein is a single piece, integrated, light weighted, cost-effective 3D printed engine for space vehicles. FIG. 5 illustrates an integrated engine that comprises a combustion chamber to burn the fuel, an injector plate (504) to inject the fuel to the combustion chamber, an igniter (502) to ignite the fuel mixture, a nozzle (506) to pass hot gas to produce thrust and cooling channels (508) for regenerative cooling, where all these components are fused to form a single piece integrated engine. The engine of the present invention eliminates the need of assembling the individual components. Further, the engine is additively manufactured with high grade aerospace materials.
