Minimum weight has always been a fundamental requirement in aerojet engine design, but the weight of fabricated components has not received equal consideration. This papersuggests methods by which simplicity of design and fabrication by welding and brazing techniques, rather than the many nut-and-bolt joints, can provide additional weight saving and cost in engine components.
