ABSTRACT:
A liquid-fueled rocket has a storage tank for the fuel components of a liquid fuel and the storage tank is able to communicate with the combustion chambers of the rocket via normally closed valves. The storage tank is enclosed and the fuel components only in part fill the latter. A body of gas is confined in the storage tank and has a pressure exceeding that in the combustion chambers. Thus, when the valves are opened, the fuel components are caused to flow from the storage tank to the combustion chambers by virtue of the difference between the pressure of the gas and the pressure in the combustion chambers.
