Abstract

A composition for use as a rocket fuel comprises an azide of a volatile base stabilized with excess of the base. The base may be ammonium, hydrazinium or a substituted hydrazinium such as unsymmetrical dimethyl-hydrazinium. In an example a fuel consists of 80% hydrazinium azide and 20% hydrazine; once this has been ignited by fuming nitric acid, it burns as a mono-propellant. Ignition may alternatively be by a spark or by contact with a catalyst.ALSO:Alkyl hydrazine azides, such as unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazinium azide, are stabilized by the addition of excess of the free base.
