I am truly grateful to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Leonhard Fottner, head of the “Institute of Jet Propulsion” until June 2002, because he gave me the opportunity to carry out this work. I will never forget his professional competence, guidance and support as well as the familiar atmosphere that he established as chief professor at the Institute. He unexpectedly passed away on June 21, 2002. Prof. Dr. rer. nat.
