  2. TM65 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TM65

    Construction of the prototype rocket engine Tordenskjold 65 (TM65) was started in the fall of 2010 [5] after a range of successful tests with its predecessor XLR-3A. [1] The project was run parallel to Copenhagen Suborbitals hybrid rocket engine project that was used to power the HEAT-1X rocket and its payload Tycho Brahe.

  3. Hybrid-propellant rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid-propellant_rocket

    Hybrid rocket propulsion system conceptual overview. In its simplest form, a hybrid rocket consists of a pressure vessel (tank) containing the liquid oxidizer, the combustion chamber containing the solid propellant, and a mechanical device separating the two. When thrust is desired, a suitable ignition source is introduced in the combustion ...

  4. Nitrous oxide fuel blend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide_fuel_blend

    The propellant used in a rocket engine plays an important role in both engine design and in design of the launch vehicle and related ground equipment to service the vehicle. Weight, energy density , cost, toxicity, risk of explosions, and other problems make it important for engineers to design rockets with appropriate propellants.

  5. Hybrid rocket fuel regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Rocket_Fuel_Regression

    Hybrid rocket fuel regression refers to the process by which the fuel grain of a hybrid-propellant rocket is converted from a solid to a gas that is combusted. It encompasses the regression rate, the distance that the fuel surface recedes over a given time, as well as the burn area, the surface area that is being eroded at a given moment.

  6. Pressure-fed engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-fed_engine

    Pressure-fed rocket cycle. Propellant tanks are pressurized to directly supply fuel and oxidizer to the engine, eliminating the need for turbopumps. The pressure-fed engine is a class of rocket engine designs. A separate gas supply, usually helium, pressurizes the propellant tanks to force fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber. To ...

  7. Staged combustion cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion_cycle

    In the full-flow rocket engine, the preburner exhaust is fed into a turbine and then into the main combustion chamber. Several variants of the staged combustion cycle exist. Preburners that burn a small portion of oxidizer with a full flow of fuel are called fuel-rich , while preburners that burn a small portion of fuel with a full flow of ...

  9. RocketMotorTwo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RocketMotorTwo

    RocketMotorTwo is a hybrid rocket engine utilizing solid hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) fuel and liquid nitrous oxide oxidizer – sometimes referred to as an N 2 O/HTPB motor [8] [9] – providing 70,000 pounds-force (310 kN) of thrust. [10] The design makes use of lessons learned during the development of the SpaceShipOne hybrid ...
