Solid Fuel For Rocket Motor
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, March 21. A new rocket engine, using solid instead of liquid fuel for powering an intermediate range ballistic missile, has been developed and put under test. This was announced in the annual report to stockholders by the General Tyre Company. The report said the new rocket motor went into its testing state last October. The motor was designed by the company’s aerojet-general corporation and, said the report, was “the largest solid propellant power plant ever used in any ballistic missile.’’
