2. Rocket propellant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_propellant

   In the case of solid rocket motors, the fuel and oxidizer are combined when the motor is cast. Propellant combustion occurs inside the motor casing, which must contain the pressures developed. Solid rockets typically have higher thrust, less specific impulse , shorter burn times, and a higher mass than liquid rockets, and additionally cannot be ...

3. Liquid-propellant rocket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-propellant_rocket

   Liquid rocket engines have tankage and pipes to store and transfer propellant, an injector system and one or more combustion chambers with associated nozzles.. Typical liquid propellants have densities roughly similar to water, approximately 0.7 to 1.4 g/cm 3 (0.025 to 0.051 lb/cu in).

4. Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate...

   Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) is a solid rocket propellant.It differs from many traditional solid rocket propellants such as black powder or zinc-sulfur, not only in chemical composition and overall performance but also by being cast into shape, as opposed to powder pressing [broken anchor] as with black powder.

5. Liquid rocket propellant - Wikipedia

   The major manufacturer of German rocket engines for military use, the HWK firm, [8] manufactured the RLM-numbered 109-500-designation series of rocket engine systems, and either used hydrogen peroxide as a monopropellant for Starthilfe rocket-propulsive assisted takeoff needs; [9] or as a form of thrust for MCLOS-guided air-sea glide bombs; [10 ...

6. Nitrous oxide fuel blend - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide_fuel_blend

   Nitrous oxide fuel blend propellants are a class of liquid rocket propellants that were intended in the early 2010s to be able to replace hydrazine as the standard storable rocket propellent in some applications. In nitrous-oxide fuel blends, the fuel and oxidizer are blended and stored; this is sometimes referred to as a mixed monopropellant.

7. RP-1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP-1

   RP-1 (Rocket Propellant-1 or Refined Petroleum-1) and similar fuels like RG-1 and T-1 are highly refined kerosene formulations used as rocket fuel. Liquid-fueled rockets that use RP-1 as fuel are known as kerolox rockets. In their engines, RP-1 is atomized, mixed with liquid oxygen (LOX), and ignited to produce thrust.

9. October Sky (book) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Sky_(book)

   The Rocket Boys enjoy mixed success during their three-year rocket launching campaign (1957 to 1960). They employ several fuel mixtures including rocket candy and a mixture called "zincoshine", which is composed of zinc dust and sulfur, along with alcohol from moonshine, supplied by a local bootlegger, as a binder for the mixture. They launch a ...
