Some potentially usable sources[edit]

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[edit]

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)[reply]

[1] 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)[reply]
