  2. Solid Isp • Low Inert Mass compared to Hybrids and Liquids • High density allows for smaller engines (countered by low Isp) AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  3. Hybrid Isp • A virtually limitless combination of oxidizers and solid fuels • Solids are commonly plastics or rubbers • Isp values ranging from mid 200’s to low 300’s Future Work • Fuel selection for each stage/configuration • More detailed analysis of solid/hybrid performance AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  4. Solid Fuel Acronyms AAE 450 Spring 2008
