ABSTRACT:
An improvement to an integrated valve assembly which generally consists of a cluster of two poppet valves, four electric-solenoid-operated flapper valves, and four thrust nozzles and interconnecting plumbing. The improvement to the integrated valve assembly reduces the force required to operate the flapper valves thereby minimizing solenoid size, weight, and power consumption. The improvement consists of a modified flapper valve tip having a hole bored through the tip in the direction of tip motion, and a free-fitting piston located therein and suitably axially restrained relative to the flapper valve body.
