From appendix A2/6: Bayern Chemie is a chemical company specialized in rocket fuels.

-Generally solid fuel, but some of them of variable thrust, double-pulse engines, gel-based propelled, hypersonic, etc.

-The solid fuel is mainly composed of oxidizer (typically ammonium perchlorate) and fuel is the typical poly butadiene or HTPB. Plus additives and load stabilizers.

-The first one is normal and the second double-pulse. It has double load, separated by the part that is shown in the small attached picture. They are very light engines.

-For hypersonic speeds, en 1993, they had the HFK1 available for Mach 5.

-The HFK2 is for Mach 7 and has been tested in 2003.

-And from 2002 to 2007 they made a missile with a variable thrust engine and gel-based fuel, called monergol y diergol.

-They are environment friendly, which is an irony as we are talking about a weapon.

-The trials are done currently, at the moment of editing. (2008-2009, Book).

From appendix 6: Bayern-Chemie Gesellschaft, manufactures a wide range of rockets and fuel loads.

-Generally for higher speed and even hypersonic. Since 1963 they supply to civilians and the military.

-Propellant-load cartridges for rechargeable engines with a minimum of smoke and attenuated IR signal.

-For civilian use there are rockets used for rescue from sea, lighting flares, etc.

-Molding with star cutouts dramatically improves the combustion area and thrust.

-The Kriss engine is a booster for the French projectile-dispenser Apache-AP whose mission is to burst airport runways.

-It has composite solid propellant load, nozzle and deployable stabilizing fins.

-The VT-1 is a solid rocket motor with composite filament casing. With reduced-smoke propellant grain.

-Bayern-Chemie also has the production license for the famous Patriot PAC-2 model anti-missile rockets.

-It uses HTPB loads in a steel body.

Solid fuel escape engine

-This engine is used for submarine rescue systems.

-Another curious engine is the one that uses the A400M military transport aircraft if it finds itself into profound loss for regaining maneuver. It is only used during the test program.

-The engine range is wide for all types of rockets, including stage propulsion (throteable) as we can see in the examples below.

Bayern Chemie - Other engines

-They study  and manufacture Gel type fuel of the monoergol or Diergol kind. Powered by gas generators.

-They develop hypervelocity propulsion with their missiles HFK type 1 and 2.

-As well as ramjet type engines with liquid and solid fuels.
