Solid rockets use propellant in the solid phase, liquid fuel rockets use propellant in the liquid phase, gas fuel rockets use propellant in the gas phase, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid or gaseous propellants. In the case of solid rocket motors, the fuel and oxidizer are combined when the motor is cast.
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 ...

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. The major ...
Liquid rockets can be monopropellant rockets using a single type of propellant, or bipropellant rockets using two types of propellant. Tripropellant rockets using three types of propellant are rare. Liquid oxidizer propellants are also used in hybrid rockets, with some of the advantages of a solid rocket.
A medium-sized hybrid sedan has an annual cost of ownership of just $9,476, according to data from AAA, which works out to be a cost-per-mile of just $0.63. ... AAA includes everything from car ...
HTP is used on ILR-33 AMBER [7] and Nucleus [8] suborbital rockets. HTP was planned for use in an attempt to break the land speed record with the Bloodhound SSC car, aiming to reach over 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h). HTP would have been the oxidiser for the hybrid fuel rocket, reacting with the solid fuel hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene ...
As demand for EVs cooled, hybrid cars took off in 2024. Companies that placed early bets on hybrids reaped the rewards. Hybrids will likely play a big role in the electric transition. Hybrid cars ...
