【 摘 要 】

The paper presents certain points of view regarding the history of Romanian rocket engines, during 1940-1944. Working independently of other scientists, during 1942 – 1944 the Romanian Nicolae Văideanu has invented and designed, independently of other researchers, a liquid fuel missile called UDOVILUL-V [3]. According to the design drawings, this missile was equipped with aerodynamically profiled propelling nozzles and was provided with a special alternator – distributor, the bypass valve adjusting the fuel components dosage in the two combustion chambers, in fuel tanks and pipes, while a special designed gas turbine was driving the centrifugal pumps and other mechanical equipment. Within his main patent the Romanian inventor has included the design of several components [2], [4], [5]. The technical solution of this outstanding design in rocketry development could provide 20kN thrust after 60 sec, enabling a speed of 3200 km/h [10].
