  1. Stephan Shurn31 January 2008PropulsionThrust Vector Control AAE 450 Spring 2008

  2. Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control (LITVC) • Works for all engines, especially solid and hybrid • Extra weight for plumbing and injectors • Good for flows due to no parts within exhaust stream AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  3. Gimballing • More complexity with Solid/Hybrid due to sealing • Flexible seal gimbals for solid/hybrid • Better for liquid due to combustion chamber and nozzle vectoring as a unit Future Work • MAT code testing • Weight and cost data for TVC AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  4. Backup AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion
