Hybrid propellants consist of a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer e.g. a mixture of acrylic rubber and liquid dinitrogen tetraoxide.
Advantages
Bi-liquid propellants have two advantages over the solid propellants. They are:
(i) Bi-liquid propellants give higher thrust than solid propellants.
(ii) Their thrust can be controlled by regulating the flow of propellants.
(iii) Hybrid propellants: It consist of a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer e.g. a mixture of acrylic rubber and liquid dinitrogen tetraoxide.
