Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0886122A1] The motor consists of a solid propellant charge (11) with a thermal protection layer (2) inside a metal casing (5) with end covers, one of which has an exhaust nozzle. The casing has a number of large apertures (6) set at intervals round it which are temporarily blocked by sealed stoppers (8) held in place between the thermal protection layer and a composite winding of impregnated fibres, e.g. of aramide fibres such as 'Kevlar' (RTM), or carbon fibres, in an epoxy resin. The stoppers, which have outer surfaces of the same curvature as the casing, are released by the accidental degradation of the composite winding. The thermal protection layer is e.g.an elastomer obtained by reticulation of a polybutadiene with a filling of refractory materials (SiO2) in the form of powder and fibres.
