This is the company “Tecnología Aeroespacial Mexicana”.

-Currently it is touted as the world leader in rocket engines using hydrogen peroxide.

-The founder is Juan Manuel Lozano (see Lozano, Juan Manuel).

-The main text deals with its best-known product, the Rocket Belt.

-Perhaps its most important contribution is the use of a multiple catalyst of super-reactive metal alloys.

-We now have a pair of small rocket engines that are installed as RoR on the rotor blade tips of small helicopters.

-This is the case of Liteco, Intora, Atlas, etc.

-TAM`s latest Rocket On Rotor product is bi-fuel and does not require a catalyst.

-Hydrogen peroxide is combined with alcohol.

-Tests have been carried out on bicycles, motorcycles or other vehicles, to check their performance.

-Perhaps the most exotic example of a TAM rocket engine installation is the one carried out on the parachuting suit, so in vogue now, which is greatly improved by the thrust given by a rocket engine installed between the legs.

-Although specialized in small rocket engines, we have an illustration from TAM itself in which they show us the natural evolution towards larger engines with more ambition.

-It seems that they are prepared to make any project that a client may wish a reality. That is, custom engines.

-An example is the one he made for Switzerland and the Dragonfly helicopter from Swiss Copter.

-The illustrations in this chapter are those that appeared on the TAM website.

-And they complement the one in the main text called Lozano, Juan Manuel.
