Abstract
A study of gas generator Fuel-Rich propellant for air-breathing propulsion system was performed in this paper. General solid propellant comprises a mean of 60% or more oxidizing agents. but, to develop the fuel-rich solid propellant increased the content of the metal fuel and reduced the content of the oxidizing agents by approximately 30%. Very high amount of heat per volume of fuel into the metal having the Boron was used. Amorphous Boron Powder was applied to propellant as beads type and it allowed to design more amount of metal fuel in the fuel-rich propellant. And the Combustion characteristics and properties of fuel-rich solid propellant according to the Boron-bead sizes were confirmed.
