Average burning rates of solid rocket propellants were measured in acceleration fields up to 2000 times standard acceleration of gravity; acceleration vector was perpendicular to and into burning surface; propellant strands were burned in combustion bomb mounted on centrifuge, and surge tanks were employed to insure constant pressure burning at 500, 1000, and 1500 psia; burning rates of aluminized and nonaluminized propellants were found to depend on acceleration; results are compared to analytical models proposed by C.T.Crowe for aluminized propellants and by R.L.Glick for nonaluminized propellants.
