The Walter HWK 109-509Aircraft Engine

The Walter HWK 109-509 was a liquid fuelled rocket engine developed in 1943 as a propulsion system for interceptor aircraft, a need for simple to build and fast aircraft was essential at this time if the allied bomber streams were to be stopped before WW2 was lost. A steam driven turbopump fed the rocket engines fuel, 30 % hydrazine hydrate + 57 % methanol + 13 % water with a trace of potassium-copper-cyanide (C-Stoff) and the oxidizer, hydrogen peroxide (T-Stoff) into a mixing chamber were a hypergolic reaction took place producing a jet of superheated stream, nitrogen and air giving a maximum of 1700 kp (16.7 kN (3,750 lbf)) thrust.
