The design envisions detachable sections as propellant burns out while noting the need for materials to withstand combustion chamber temperatures above 5000 degrees F. Potential propellants include aniline with red fuming nitric acid ethyl alcohol with liquid oxygen and liquid alcohol with liquid oxygen.
