This paper discusses fabrication and test of an advanced expander combustion chamber for a 50.000 pound (222.4 kN) thrust Upper Stage Expander Cycle Engine. The chamber is being developed by Pratt & Whitney Liquid Space Propulsion under contract for the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to support the Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) initiative. The Advanced Expander Combustor is designed to provide increased heat pick-up to the coolant and improved system thrust to weight, increased specific impulse, and increased reliability.
