  3. Report Outline • Launch Method Analysis for Aircraft • Feasibility of different types of aircraft • Cost • Hybrid Propellants • Research for advantages/disadvantages • Non-Catastrophic Failure for Propulsion • Historical values for Standard Deviations • Statistics for liquid and hybrid propellant • Cost for Finalized Launch Vehicle of Propellant and Pressurant • Analysis of the cost calculation • Future Work • Complete writing the sections outlined for the report. AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion

  4. References • Code written by Nicole Wilcox to calculate the pressurant and propellant mass for each stage of the design. • The MAT output from the optimization runs from Saturday which give the propellant mass and pressurant mass for each stage of the finalized launch vehicles.
