We are fascinated by the hybrid rocket engine which [Ben Krasnow] built and tested in his shop. It is actually using a hollow cylinder of acrylic as the fuel, with gaseous oxygen as an oxidizer.

Rocket hybrid propulsion market is rapidly expanding, driven by military advancements, growing space tourism, and innovative ...

Team Abstract: The HADES team is seeking to add to the collective CU Boulder knowledge base of hybrid rockets through the development of a liquid-solid hybrid engine. This engine will be used to power ...

Meanwhile, solid rocket engines are simple and cheap, but once you light them, they’re going full-bore until burnout. Hybrid rocket engines offer perks from both worlds, with simple solid fuel ...

This airframe will be the first to successfully carry a hybrid rocket engine developed at CU Boulder, and as such, will employ custom-designed avionics and a dual-deploy recovery system to not just ...

It is a hybrid between a conventional jet engine, and a rocket system powered by liquid oxygen. The system will be reusable, much like an aeroplane, with no need to jettison expensive fuel tanks ...

Moreover, it is difficult for the fuel & oxidizer to be mixed intimately, hybrid rockets tend to fail more frequently than liquids or solids. Like liquid rocket engines, hybrid rocket motors can ...
