Abstract:
A turbine pump assembly has a turbine, a centrifugal pump, and a passive electrical speed control system. The turbine has a peak efficiency at a first speed that is lower than a second speed at which the centrifugal pump is operating at a peak power requirement. A rocket thrust vector control system is also disclosed.
