We’ve all been thrilled to see the SpaceX rockets return to earth, landing elegantly on a floating pad. But those are liquid-fueled. The trick with a solid-fuel rocket motor is it can’t be ...

Adranos is best known for its creation of ALITEC, an aluminum-lithium alloy fuel for solid rocket motors that it claims can produce up to a 40% increase in range. (Anduril) 32,404 people played ...

Solid-fuel rockets are cheaper than their liquid-fuel counterparts, meaning the new engine could significantly reduce spaceflight costs. This is particularly noteworthy given the growing number of ...

That is more than four times as powerful as the liquid fuel engine on the Long ... mobility and near-instant launch capability, solid-fuel rockets are mainly used to deliver missiles or on other ...

This is not the only potential application, however. Because solid-fuel rockets are cheaper than liquid-fuel rockets, the new engine could drastically cut the cost of sending rockets into space ...

using solid metal fuel offers simplified storage and handling compared to gas or liquid propellants. It allows for a simple design that is particularly suited for mass production, creating a ...

WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - Anduril Industries has been selected by the U.S. Army to develop a new 4.75-inch solid ... rocket motors using traditional aluminized propellant and its ALITEC fuel.

Boron is the fifth lightest element, has a high intrinsic energy density, and is cheap, abundant and stable — making it of interest as a solid rocket fuel and as an additive to jet fuels to ...
