1000 T de poussée, 2 turbopompes, avec une taille de chambre de combustion légèrement augmentée, et une taille totale pas plus grosse que peut en contenir la fusée Zenit, voilà à quoi travaille Energomash. L'idée est de construire un moteur d'une telle poussée tout en permettant qu'il loge dans les fusées actuelles de la taille d'une Zenit. La décision finale sur le design final sera prise en 2015 et d'ici là ils continuent chez Energomash a scruter l'évolution des besoins.
12.09.2013 NPO "Energomash" engine generates a thrust of 1,000 tons
The Russian NGO "Energomash" Academician Glushko, a leading company in the world in the development of powerful liquid rocket engines for space launch vehicles, is developing the new engine thrust of 1,000 tons for the current and future missile, which has no analogues in Russia, nor in the world, said in an interview with RIA Novosti Executive Director Vladimir sun.
"We are creating engine with a thrust of 1,000 tons, which is a new development, now is the design phase. I note that it is created using the new 3D-technology, that is, it is not drawn on the drawing board. This increases the quality of the system, since the software software helps to avoid many human errors. A new engine thrust of 1,000 tons fits into the dimensions of the carrier rocket "Zenit" - told The Sun.
According to him, experts are guided by the fact that the geometric parameters of the new engine did not exceed the dimensions of today's launch vehicles, this engine will be slightly increased combustion chamber, it will have two turbopump unit, which should ensure that it is more efficient operation.
"The overseas counterparts had not. Compared to our engines, we have the maximum traction while 800 tons. This new engine is not only used in rockets," Zenith ", but also on the different versions of launch vehicles, which today still yet. We're trying a little bit ahead of time because you need to build the engine for 5-7 years. We plan to reach a final decision on the layout of a new product in 2015. And we will continue to look at the demand for it, "- said the Sun.
