Variable thrust from rocket power plants has not been generally available except in large increments obtained from firing one or more thrust chambers; burning rates of solid fuels are not readily controllable; with liquid propellants, control is more easily accomplished; throttling thrust chamber control using liquid propellants should considerably augment utility of rocket power plants in piloted as well as possibly pilotless aircraft.
