AIAA uh, cool, I'll have to try looking it up...who knows, I may have already. Have you used a contoured nozzle instead of conical? What did you make the nozzle out of?
actually the paper is going through touch ups before resubmittal for the international conference, so actually i dont know when the paper will be up officially on the website. i havnt used a contour nozzle yet, due to literature only 1% performance is really lost for conical. we are also working on a 20% truncated nozzle with base bleed. this nozzle was made of mild steel, as for the new one, it is graphite for now for shorter burn times, due to dual throat erosion for long burns.
Nice, congrats. Is your paper up?

ah ok, I'll keep my eyes open for your paper. I'm not sure if I'll submit my report, depends on my final grade for it I guess.
