Learn the inside story behind a series of technically advanced projects over a 25-year period at Pratt & Whitney. Dick Mulready spearheaded Pratt & Whitney projects such as the RL10 hydrogen rocket engine, which has been used to launch most large satellites over the past half-century, and the development of the technology for the high-pressure staged combustion rocket engine used in the Space Shuttle. Advanced Engine Development at Pratt & Whitney offers a behind-the-scenes look at the almost unbelievable projects at Pratt & Whitney, including the RL10 hydrogen rocket engine, which has been used to launch most large satellites over the past half-century, and the development of the technology for the high-pressure staged combustion rocket engine used in the Space Shuttle. Chapters cover these projects: Ramjets T57 - The Largest Turboprop Liquid Hydrogen and the 304 Engine - Suntan RL10 High-Pressure Rockets Boost Glide and the XLR129 The XLD-1 Gas Dynamic Laser The Space Shuttle Engine
