Cryoplane, the cryogenic plane.

Cryoplane, l'avion cryogénique.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Cryogenic propulsion is widely used in space; could it also be used in aeronautics? A group of German and Russian companies have begun to examine the subject (see also Bull. 95.2, abstract 95-0700). The article summarizes the conclusions from 2 years of work and shows that this mode of propulsion is not impossible, but does pose innumerable problems of all sorts. The technological developments necessary will delay practical application for a long time.
