Propulsion System
The Propulsion system consists of a primary propulsion system which is the SpaceX pusher and the secondary system which is a compressed air release based system that would further propel the pod up to the required high speed.
Our job as a design team was to optimize the size of the compressed air storage tanks, the exit nozzle and fit them on the chassis. We ended up designing and manufacturing the tanks to our requirements since no industrial tanks were available. CFD analysis was done on the nozzle end of the tanks to aide to the design.
