Greetings:
I write as one with a science background and a great interest in the details of the fuel in the V2 Rocket. Have been to the Udvar Hazy location of the Air and Space Museum in Virginia and did research in the microfilm section. It was only at a later date that I found that such documents were likely to be in German without translation.
Although the fuel was composed of Ethanol, Water and Oxygen, I have yet to see these components seen in the form of equations with catalysts, reaction temperatures and pressure. I also have interest in the safety protocols and the details of ignition on launch
Finally, annotated photographs show that the turbopump was made from some aluminum alloy. Looking for similar details and reasoning for the remaining engine components.
Any guidance in this regard is truly appreciated. Much thanks in advance as I await a reply
Cordially,
