Aerospace Propulsion
At BRITE we own a test facility to test small Hybrid Rocket Engines up to 10 kN thrust (SLS) with different complete rocket engines or combustion chambers (with or without optical access) using different types of fuels, but mainly with paraffin and N2O as oxidizer. The test engines are completely instrumented, with a separate control chamber from the engine test cell. A strong collaboration is existing with ONERA, Royal Military Academy of Belgium and UnB (Brasil) on this topic.
