Claims
- 1. A method for manufacturing a combustion chamber for a solid propellant rocket motor having front and rear walls, said method comprising the steps of:
- separately providing the propellant in the form of at least one cylindrical block,
- assembling the front and rear walls to the propellant at end portions thereof,
- forming a rigid tubular structure by adhesively fixing around and to the propellant and front and rear walls, separately provided rigid cylindrical sectors of tube having longitudinally extending edge faces, the edge faces of adjacent sectors being juxtaposed longitudinally in face-to-face abutting relationship to constitute a cylindrical tube, said cylindrical sectors being produced in composite material having a matrix showing a high thermal resistance, and
- forming at least a substantially circumferential winding around said tubular structure.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the tubular structure constituted by the tube sectors form a skirt at one end at least of the combustion chamber, and a preliminary helical winding is formed throughout the length of the tubular structure before the forming of the circumferential winding, in order to improve the resistance to twisting forces.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein before the forming of the circumferential winding, an helical winding is formed on the tubular structure and on at least one closure in order to complete the connection therebetween.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the propellant is formed by assembling a plurality of segments.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the tubular structure is formed of a plurality of layers of longitudinal cylindrical sectors assembled edge-to-edge.
