  2. Aircraft Launch White Knight was chosen as the aircraft carrier for our launch vehicle. White Knight Specifications: Cost Breakdown: Assuming an 8 hour work day, 3 days for flight simulation and 7 days for launch preparation, the aircraft is leased for 80 hours. AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  3. Risk Analysis Hybrid Propellant For hybrid propellants, we cannot find historical standard deviations. The two percent deviations for liquid and solid propellant are added together to calculate a hybrid propellant percent deviation. Percent Deviations for Each Propellant Type AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion
