Compare that to the average I sp of an APCP (Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant), which is 180 to 260 seconds. Sorbitol and KNO 3 based propellants with a typical 35:65 ratio are capable of an I sp of between 110 and 125 seconds. However, sorbitol and KNO 3 rockets with additives have been recorded as having specific impulses of up to ...
