Development of LITVC
LITVC testing successful. Utilizing IWFNA for both main combustion and secondary injection proved efficient. Moving to high-frequency testing.
We are excited to announce a major breakthrough in our Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control (LITVC) development. By utilizing IWFNA (Inhibited White Fuming Nitric Acid)—the same oxidizer powering our main combustion chamber—we have successfully streamlined our propulsion architecture and achieved a significant technical milestone.
Key Highlights
Oxidizer Synergy: Using IWFNA for both primary thrust and secondary injection simplifies the fluid management system and reduces overall vehicle mass.
Successful Static Fire: Recent hot-fire tests confirmed the structural integrity and response time of the injection valves under high-pressure conditions.
Optimized Side Force: The tests demonstrated precise control over the shock wave interaction within the nozzle, providing the necessary side force for agile maneuvering.
This successful testing phase validates our design approach and moves us one step closer to full-scale flight integration. We are now transitioning to high-frequency duty cycle testing to ensure reliability during long-duration burns.
