Hybrids for heavy-lift propulsion - Unsolved problemsThe basic unsolved problems of hybrid rockets are examined with the aim of facilitating solutions which could enable the attainment of the full potentials of the hybrid as a heavy-lift propulsion system. The advantages of safety, cost-effectiveness, stop-restart capability, and simplicity of the manufacturing process are reviewed. Attention is given to a comprehensive turbulent hybrid rocket combustion model.
