Viper 2

Injector

Viper 2 uses an unlike impinging injector to atomize the liquid methane and liquid oxygen (LOX). The liquid oxygen is distributed via the LOX dome on top of the injector assembly. The liquid methane is ingested radially from a manifold that is expect to eventually lead to a regenerative cooling jacket.

 

Combustion Chamber

Viper 2 will utilize a copper combustion chamber that is double walled to facilitate regenerate cooling.


Tank Design

Viper 2 has different tank designs for flight and test stand configurations. As of writing this document only the test stand tanks have been designed.
