The purpose of this program was to determine the feasibility of converting an aircraft jet engine starter that is normally powered with an 8LBm solid propellant cartridge (type MXU4A/A), to an equivalent liquid monopropellant-fueled device utilizing state-of-the-art hydrazine technology, the single most difficult development constraint being that the complete hydrazine system must package within the space normally occupied by the MXU4A/A solid propellant cartridge in the starter breech. The feasibility of packaging a hydrazine fueled cartridge in the existing solid propellant breech volume and meeting performance requirements was successfully demonstrated using a breadboard hydrazine system in conjunction with actual cartridge starter hardware.
