Talk:TR-107

Some potentially usable sources
I did some searching on "TR-107" and found this engine has been being discussed on a space-related forum (here and here.

Some links for more info on this engine are spread throughout those forum threads, but this one was particularly loaded with links: TR107 has been brought up in another thread, here are the scarce technical bits that have not been posted

( from http://www.alternatewars.com/BBOW/Space_Engines/TRW_Engines.htm ) http://www.alternatewars.com/BBOW/Space_Engines/TR-107.png http://www.alternatewars.com/BBOW/Space_Engines/FS-2002-09-141-MSFC.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a445014.pdf

The illustration is from this book: http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=11780&page=146

And, a full PDF link of that book: http://www.dtic.mil/get-tr-doc/pdf?AD=ADA471183 Take a look at page 167 for an especially sad table ..

The table referred to (pp 167 of the last link) is a US government source that says the TR-107 only got as far along as "component development" before the program was cancelled, which according to that table, has been the fate of a large number of USG rocket propulsion programs.

I don't know if those sources would meet WP:RS standards, but it may help provide more info on this engine that is suddenly much in the news and discussion amongst US space policy folks.

What was built and tested
What components were built and tested ? Was a complete engine ever built ? How long was it fired for ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:51, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * says "In April 2003, ... to refocus the TR107 project. Concentrating on key booster engine technologies, ... is developing two critical engine components: a single-pintle injector for the engine’s oxygen-rich preburner, and a duct-cooled combustion chamber intended to eliminate conventional engine cooling channels. " makes it sound like it was never (after April 2003) intended to develop an entire engine with pumps - just a preburner injector and new combustion chamber. (Prior to April 2003 it was hoped to use a pintle injector for the main engine too.) - Rod57 (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
