Novel Drop Test Set-Up For Hypergolic Testing

Developing a drop test set-up to characterize the performance of TNO’s HTP/ethanol hypergolic propellant combination

An ambient drop test set-up was developed and used to obtain data about the hypergolic performance of TNO's novel hypergolic propellant combination. Said propellant combination was found to have an ignition delay time of 50 ms before further optimization, making it a promising ca ...
