Rockwell's high energy density composite wheel concept is based upon work done as part of a program in spacecraft power and attitude control. Experience and analytic capabilities which evolved during the early program will be utilized in the course of producing next-generation hardware. This paper will describe the design and present typical results of computer analyses treating operation and fabrication stresses. The advantages of the concept (viz., great axial stiffness and high volume efficiency) will be discussed. Earlier design problems will be briefly touched upon. (Peters)
