Abstract
A casing of a solid-propellant engine comprising a core and a layer of elastomeric material, set as coating for at least part of the core to provide a thermal protection of the core itself is obtained by: inserting the core in a forming mold so as to make within the mold two annular chambers separated from one another by the core; forming a strand of elastomeric material; obtaining a defined portion of elastomeric material by cutting the strand transversely to size in an external environment; and injecting the cut portion of elastomeric material simultaneously within both of the annular chambers.
