ABSTRACT:
A fuel member comprises a continuous, elongated, flexible and combustible structural component that has a length to width of ratio greater than 100:1, and contains within the structural component, either as a part thereof or as a separate component, an oxidizer in an amount sufficient to support combustion of the fuel member. The fuel member is essentially self-supporting in that it does not require containment tanks or rigid encasement, and therefore is particularly suitable for use in single stage, reusable rocket propulsion systems.
