A unique method of managing the airflow through engines may dramatically improve the performance of supersonic jets.
Release date: 2000-05-09
This Is Rocket Science
A solid rocket's job is simple: defeat inertia by delivering power. The two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) strapped to the space shuttle provide most of the thrust to lift a 4.5 million pound spacecraft off the ground. In the two minutes that the SRBs burn before they separate from the rest of the craft and fall away, the shuttle achieves a speed of 3,100 miles per hour and an altitude of 25 miles.
