1.8KS7800
1.8KS7800 is a solid propellant[2] rocket engine designed by Aerojet.[3] It is used in the AIM-7A, AIM7B and AIM7C Sparrow missiles[4] and the Aerobee 300-300A sounding rocket.[5] The designation 1.8KS7800 means that the engine burns during 1.8 seconds and generates 7,800 pounds of thrust.[6][7][8]
 AIM-7 Sparrow missile is fired from an F-15 fighter. The missile is using the 1.8KS7800 rocket engine. | |
