Lox/ammonia
Yesterday I was reading about the Rocket Propulsion Establishment's
ideas for a lox/ammonia motor back in th early 50s. Does anyone know if a lox/ammonia motor other than the XLR 99 was actually made anywhere? |

Not for spaceflight, it seems. *Hydrazine is the next step up from ammonia (NH3, N2H4) and is a stable room temperature liquid with very good performance. --Damon 1953 was probably a little early for hydrazine - I think it doesn't really start getting used until the late 50s. |
