Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/019876
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for fabricating hybrid rocket motor fuel grains. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a rocket motor fuel grain can be provided. The method can include providing a platform operable to support a rocket motor fuel grain during fabrication. The method can also include disposing at least one fuel material onto the platform to form a material layer. Further, the method can include successively disposing additional fuel material onto the material layer in small amounts, wherein the rocket motor fuel grain is formed on the platform.
