Simple Core Design for Neutral Burn Composite Rocket Motors

S. K. Anderson

ABSTRACT: Two simple techniques for improving small amateur-type rocket motors are discussed. The first uses a simple, post-cure technique to produce neutral thrust profiles using a simple machinist’s tap. The second uses a small Black Powder pellet to improve reliability and ignition of composite rocket motors.

Keywords: rocket motor, composite propellant, thrust profile, neutral
