Space & Atoms. What saved the company in the postwar planemaker's famine was the same thing that made it grow in the first place: new ideas, plus topflight research into new fields. Gradually extending its contract to 87% ownership, General Tire gave Kimball the funds he needed to push Aerojet into liquid engines for some of the first U.S. military rockets: Douglas' early Nike, the Lark and Loon for the Navy. Aerojet branched out to work on underwater rocket engines, set up separate departments to pursue both liquid-and solid-fuel engines...
