Alpha Hybrids is proud to announce the certification of their first motor, and I250 with 540Ns of total impulse. This uses the Candlepower wax fuel grain.
The aerospike flew and landed successfully this weekend a Northern Colorado Rocketry's Sunday research launch. Thanks a ton to Art Hoag who offered his rocket 'Slipstream' to fly the aerospike in. It was a great flight and we should have pictures later this week. The rocket even landed without any damage to the spike. Pictured here is a 12 pound rocket that flew to 1300' on the I250 motor. It was a nice low and slow flight to demonstrate the motor!
Cooler than Joe Camel and doesn't cause cancer. How can someone not want to fly the first aerospike on the block? Here are two videos....don't drool on your keyboard.
Alpha Hybrids has put together a PDF on two of the fuels we used. We hope that this will help to inform those wishing to pursue developing their own hybrid motors!
Here are the latest videos from the static test department of candidates for certification. The last one is a maybe - the R&D department needs to do more testing on it. We are still working our way to certification of these motors. It is a process that takes more time than one thinks, especially to produce a product that is reliable and consistent for our consumers.
