Zusammenfassung:An extruded stick-type propellant grain is disclosed that includes a length separated from a strand of extruded propellant material having a predetermined cross-sectional shape provided with a predetermined number of spaced, radially distributed, hollow non-round longitudinal perforations formed in said length of propellant material parallel to and extending along the length thereof and separated and surrounded by a web of the propellant material. The perforations have a geometric cross section selected from the group consisting of non-round shapes that enhance uniformity in unburned web thickness during a normal burn of said length of extruded propellant thereby reducing the amount of unburned slivers. A central perforation is also provided.
