Re: How Rockets Differ From Jets

tomcat,
I have some tile attachment ideas that'll remain reasonably flexible,
somewhat Fish-Scale like applications.

But that's actually a perfect good thing about CNT, as providing the
thermal heatsink should help to transfer/redistribute the thermal
energy rather than allowing a horrific buildup at any one point.

I totally agree with this matrix approach, and don't worry about tile
breakage if using my fish-scale method of application.

Isn't there such a thing as being too stiff?
How much heat can graphite and/or boron epoxy withstand?

Here's a little more info coming our way, at least I'm hoping others
will share and share alike without going into their usual need-to-know
and/or taboo/nondisclosure mode. Just as well if you can provide some
SME/SRB exhaust velocity and burn-time info would help us village
idiots to understand a bit more of what's reasonably SME/SRB
obtainable.

Kurt Vonnegut would have to agree; WAR is WAR, thus "in war there are
no rules" - In fact, war has been the very reason of having to deal
with the likes of others that haven't been playing by whatever rules,
such as GW Bush.
