The special requirements which have to be met by rocket motor fuel pumps are described, and a comparative study is made of the suitability of all the important types of pumps for use with rocket motors. A simplified type of open impeller centrifugal pump which has been operated successfully in some short and medium range rockets is recommended as the most suitable type at the present state of development. The theoretical and constructional details of this pump will be given later elsewhere.
