Hybrid Rocket Propulsion Design Handbook 1st Edition

Grab the edge in modern propulsion with Hybrid Rocket Propulsion Design Handbook, 1st Edition by Ashley Chandler Karp and Elizabeth Therese Jens. This authoritative guide immediately draws engineers, graduate students, and industry professionals into the evolving world of hybrid rocket systems — where solid fuels meet liquid or gaseous oxidizers to deliver efficient, scalable, and safer propulsion solutions.

Written to bridge rigorous theory and practical application, the handbook walks readers through fundamental principles, performance prediction, and the step-by-step design process. Clear explanations of combustion mechanisms, propellant selection, grain geometry, regression modeling, nozzle and thrust-vector considerations, and system integration make complex topics accessible without sacrificing technical depth. Worked examples, illustrative figures, and calculation approaches empower readers to move from concept to prototype with confidence.

Whether you’re developing educational projects, commercial launch vehicles, or research platforms in North America, Europe, Asia, or beyond, this volume provides globally relevant best practices, safety insights, and testing strategies tailored to real-world constraints and regulatory landscapes. The tone is professional yet approachable, making it a reliable desk reference for propulsion teams, university labs, and independent designers.

Invest in a resource that clarifies trade-offs, reduces development risk, and accelerates innovation. Add Hybrid Rocket Propulsion Design Handbook, 1st Edition by Ashley Chandler Karp and Elizabeth Therese Jens to your technical library today — the practical roadmap for next-generation hybrid rocket design.
