ABSTRACT:
An autophage rocket has its casing constructed from KEVLAR-epoxy material which is itself combustible and stores liquid propellant. As the propellant is consumed during flight, the casing is combusted so that the pressure within the casing remains constant. A secondary nozzle is mounted to the outlet end of the rocket and cooperates with a ram-rocket construction to achieve additional impulse. A multiplicity of rocket motors are fed from a single stage tank to enable controlled motion of the rocket.
