The Hybrid Potential

Where do
hybrids fall short?
Performance challenges explored

Lower Specific Impulse vs. Liquid

  • Less efficient combustion due to mixing limitations between solid fuel and liquid/gas oxidizer.
  • 20% less than liquid propulsion

SOLVED

O/F Ratio Control

  • Maintaining optimal oxidizer-to-fuel ratio throughout the burn is very challenging.
  • Less precise control compared to liquid engines.

SOLVED

Regression Rate of Solid Fuel

  • Lower burn rate of solid fuel can lead to lower thrust-to-weight ratios.
  • Mixing and flame dynamics are less controlled than in liquid engines.

The Future of Hybrid Fuel Design

Multi-material 3D printing is a transformative technology for hybrid rocket propulsion.

By offering unprecedented design freedom and the ability to tailor material properties at a microstructural level, it enables the creation of high-performance solid fuels with complex geometries optimized for specific mission requirements.

This technology is crucial for overcoming the limitations of traditional hybrid engine designs and unlocking new levels of efficiency, thrust control, and mission versatility.

Our research in this area is focused on exploring the full potential of multi-material printing with advanced biopolymers to pave the way for the next generation of hybrid propulsion systems.
