hybrid rockets

Hybrid rockets are propulsion systems that use a combination of solid and liquid or gaseous propellants. Typically, the main fuel is a solid material, while the oxidizer (which provides the oxygen for combustion) is stored separately in liquid or gaseous form. When ignited, the oxidizer is injected into the solid fuel, producing controlled and efficient thrust. Hybrids are safer than all-solid rockets and simpler than liquid rockets, offering a good balance of safety, controllability, and performance. This design is used in space launch systems and experimental projects, providing a flexible and reliable means of propulsion.
