With all-composite cryogenic tank, Boeing eyes mass-reducing space, aviation applications
After a series of DARPA-supported tests of an all-composite cryogenic propulsion tank, Boeing has succeeded in advancing the new reduced-mass tank technology to Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL 6). The all-composite design contrasts to the welded tanks commonly used throughout the industry for rockets’ stages — although Rocket Lab’s Electron is an outstanding example of…
