Kerosine-fueled turborocket offers advantages over rocket and turbojet engines for acceleration of recoverable space launcher to speeds of Mach 4-5 in short flight times; for particular flight plan examined, minimum power plant and fuel weight is 0.39 times aircraft takeoff weight, compared with 0.44 for turbojet and 0.58 for rocket; turborocket design is combination of turbojet and rocket; turborocket supplies up to 1/5 of total oxygen needed for combustion and operates by burning oxygen and fuel in rocket-type combustion chamber. Abbreviated version of paper presented at 1964 Annual Congress of Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Raketentechnik u Raumfahrt (DGR).
