Roger Cripliver was born August 8, 1918 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He attended Oklahoma public schools, and then pursued under graduate studies in business at Blackwood-Davis Business College, Wichita State University and Texas Christian University. He became interested in aviation in the wake of Charles Lindberg’s 1927 solo crossing of the Atlantic. In 1940 Cripliver entered the United States Army, and joined the 45th “Thunderbolt” Infantry Division. He was sent to G-2/Army Intelligence Division School, and upon completion was posted to the G-2 Division. After a tour with intelligence he joined the United States Army Central Flight Training Command. While there, he served as an instructor, crew chief, flight engineer, and airplane inspector for the BT-13 Trainer, B-26 Marauder, B-25 Mitchell, and B-32 Dominator. Upon his honorable discharge from the army in 1945, Cripliver married Dorothy Lorraine Meadows in Fort Worth, Texas. He also took a job with the Fort Worth Division of Convair. Cripliver worked in Convair’s engineering department, and wrote and edited modification instructions for the B-36 Peacemaker, SC-54, and B-58 Hustler aircraft. In 1962, Cripliver moved over to the Logistics Support Division, and worked on contracts and negotiations for the F-111 program. In 1993, Cripliver retired from what had become the Fort Worth Division of Lockheed Martin. He settled in Fort Worth and continued his involvement in aviation and other hobbies. During his long tenure with Convair, Cripliver became known as the unofficial historian for Convair/General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin. He collected material that was going to be disposed of by other departments, and saved his own material. He wrote articles for various Convair and General Dynamic’s in-house publications, and provided support to those writing articles and books about Convair and General Dynamics aircraft. He also helped create displays on corporate history, and produced a presentation that contained his reminisces about the transformation of the Fort Worth Division over the forty some years he was there. The bulk of the material in this collection was collected as part of these duties as unofficial historian. Cripliver was active in the Boy Scouts of America, having attained the rank of Eagle Scout himself. He also supported a number of organizations dedicated to Aviation’s legacy and his interests, including the Air Force Association, Friends of the Air Force Museum, Aviation Historical Museum of North Texas, Lockheed FW Retirees Management Club, National Air and Space Museum, and National Eagle Scout Association. Cripliver arranged to donate his collection to the University of Texas at Dallas and History of Aviation Collection, and helped personally oversee the transfer of these materials. He passed away January 25th, 2007. He is survived by his wife, one son, and a granddaughter. 3 Sources: Greenwood Funeral Home. 2007. Charles Roger Cripliver. Fort Worth Star Telegram, 28 January. Additional Sources: The broad scope of the C. Roger Cripliver Papers encompasses many of the topics covered by other collections in the History of Aviation Collection. The bulk of the material is concerned with aircraft produced by either the Convair family of Companies, or other manufacturers. For more information on individual aircraft consult the relevant entry in the Manufacturer’s Files. More information on aircraft production and manufacturer in Fort Worth can be found in the Chance Vought Collection. Series Description The C.

  • Materials for Liquid Propulsion Systems
    https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20160008869 2019-08-29T17:47:59+00:00Z CHAPTER 12 Materials for Liquid Propulsion Systems John A. Halchak Consultant, Los Angeles, California James L. Cannon NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama Corey Brown Aerojet-Rocketdyne, West Palm Beach, Florida 12.1 Introduction Earth to orbit launch vehicles are propelled by rocket engines and motors, both liquid and solid. This chapter will discuss liquid engines. The heart of a launch vehicle is its engine. The remainder of the vehicle (with the notable exceptions of the payload and guidance system) is an aero structure to support the propellant tanks which provide the fuel and oxidizer to feed the engine or engines. The basic principle behind a rocket engine is straightforward. The engine is a means to convert potential thermochemical energy of one or more propellants into exhaust jet kinetic energy. Fuel and oxidizer are burned in a combustion chamber where they create hot gases under high pressure. These hot gases are allowed to expand through a nozzle. The molecules of hot gas are first constricted by the throat of the nozzle (de-Laval nozzle) which forces them to accelerate; then as the nozzle flares outwards, they expand and further accelerate. It is the mass of the combustion gases times their velocity, reacting against the walls of the combustion chamber and nozzle, which produce thrust according to Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. [1] Solid rocket motors are cheaper to manufacture and offer good values for their cost.

  • Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.

However, a design making use of over 300 small, simple rocket engines can deliver over 340,000 lbs to low Earth orbit. This design, derived by using the rocket equations to size the major components, features a 42 ft.
