This Is How We Solder Rocket Propellant Injectors
This weekend we had a go at soldering our first coaxial swirl injectors which we plan to use in our crewed Spica rocket.
The swirlers have landed
Dear readers, As you could read in our last blog, PH Spaanteknik has helped us to produce a number of prototype coaxial swirlers. We have now received them and I just think you should see Read more…
