This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is a review of the general characteristics of power sources that may be used to provide secondary, auxiliary, or emergency power for use in aircraft, space vehicles, missiles, remotely piloted vehicles, air cushion vehicles, surface effect ships, or other vehicles in which aerospace technology is used. The information contained herein is intended for use in the selection of the power source most appropriate to the needs of a particular vehicle or system. The information may also be used in the preparation of a power source specification. Considerations for use in making a trade study and an evaluation of the several power sources are included. More detailed information relating to specific power sources is available in other SAE Aerospace Information Reports or in Aerospace Recommended Practices.

It is intended that this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) will set down guidelines for the development and test of gas motors to provide a practical and reliable hot gas rotary actuation mechanism. Specific operational and test requirements shall be specified in a detail specification.

Gas for the purpose of this ARP shall be defined as the gaseous produces) resulting from the decomposition, dissociation, or combustion of liquid or solid mono or bi-propellants. Where other gases such as heated N2, H2, H2O (steam), etc., which may have similar physical and/or chemical properties as the defined "gas", are used to effect testing economies; they may be considered as being included in this ARP.
