LR105

An LR105 Atlas sustainer engine on display at the Air Zoo.

The LR105 is a liquid-fuel rocket engine that served as the sustainer engine for the Atlas rocket family.[1][2][3] Developed by Rocketdyne in 1957 as the S-4,[4][5][6] it is called a sustainer engine because it continues firing after the LR89 booster engines have been jettisoned, providing thrust during the ascent phase.[7]

Description

The LR105 is a liquid-propellant engine using RP-1/LOX. The engine operates on a gas-generator cycle, where a small portion of the propellant is burned in a gas generator to drive the turbopumps, which supply the engine with fuel and oxidizer.

The engine was designed to be throttleable, meaning its thrust could be adjusted during flight to optimize performance. The LR105 also features regenerative cooling, where RP-1 fuel is circulated through cooling channels in the engine's nozzle and combustion chamber before being injected into the combustion process, preventing overheating and improving efficiency.

Versions

The LR105 engine underwent several upgrades over its operational life, leading to multiple variants:[1][8][9][10][3]

Hunt–Szymanski algorithm

In computer science, the Hunt–Szymanski algorithm,[1][2] also known as Hunt–McIlroy algorithm, is a solution to the longest common subsequence problem. It was one of the first non-heuristic algorithms used in diff which compares a pair of files each represented as a sequence of lines. To this day, variations of this algorithm are found in incremental version control systems, wiki engines, and molecular phylogenetics research software. The worst-case complexity for this alg...
