BYU Propulsion Development – Experimental LOX/Paraffin Hybrid Rocket [PDF]

, 2022
The "Blue Jay" is a 12 ft., LOX and paraffin hybrid rocket with a designed total impulse of 20,330 Ns. The rocket will have its maiden flight summer 2022 at the Friends of Amateur Rocketry with a target altitude of 10,000 ft. above ground level. The rocket is expected to weigh around 100 lbs. dry. This is BYU's first hybrid rocket, and one of the first

An Application of Analytical Target Cascading for a Hierarchical Multidisciplinary System: The Preliminary Design of a Launch Vehicle Powered by Hybrid Rocket Motors

Aerospace, 2022
Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a method for coordinating hierarchical system design optimization with a decomposition-based framework. Since a launch vehicle (LV) is usually powered by two or more stages of rocket motors, the overall design of the ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
