Hybrid propulsion technology has received growing attention in recent years due to its advantages over conventional liquid and solid rocket solutions. It is safe, low cost and shows variable thrust. For being spread as a key technology in aerospace sector, it is mandatory to investigate green propellants. Despite the vast amount of literature and worldwide projects available on hybrid, works on biopolymers green propellants¿ still suffer a limited maturity level. The goal of this project is to investigate, via an experimental and numerical approach, the feasibility and the performance of biopolymers -based fuels.
