The hybrid rocket engine utilizes a combination of solid rocket and liquid rocket technology to meet some flight mission applications. In terms of performance, cost, availability of materials and safety, the hybrid approach does potentially have some advantages. A number of design issues are covered in this chapter, including the implications of solid fuel regression rate and stoichiometric length on engine performance. Modeling of solid fuel surface regression as a function of mass flux is presented. The framework for steady and nonsteady internal ballistic analysis is discussed.
