session 8

Title

Advanced and Combined Propulsion Systems

Description

The session is for the presentation of advanced propulsion concepts being studied or considered. The advanced concepts should seek to deliver breakthroughs in overcoming the limitations of propulsion systems in current use or development. For advanced concepts technologies should normally be in the range TRL 0 to TRL 2. Advanced concepts with higher TRL technologies may also be presented where a combination of propulsion technologies can lead to performance breakthroughs which can not be achieved with a single technology. A combination can include for example both chemical and electric or solid and liquid chemical.
