Abstract

Hyper 1 is the first engine of the Hyper series ({\bf Hy}brid {\bf P}ropulsion for {\bf E}xperimental {\bf R}ockets), designed for experimental rocket applications. The student group {\it Wissenschaftliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Raketentechnik und Raumfahrt} (WARR) of the {\it Technische Universität München} (TUM) continues its efforts in building rocket engines, which has begun with the development of the first German Hybrid Rocket {\it Barbarella}. We strive to design this engine from scratch on our own. Therefore a smaller engine, HY-500T, and a test bench have already been built to gather relevant data concering combustion. Hyper 1 runs on HTPB/N2O and creates about 1000 N thrust during a burning period of 10 s. Simulations indicate a possible flight altitude of about 6 000 m with a maximum velocity of about Mach 1.0. The engine is the most powerful one ever built by the WARR and is a challenge for us as a student group.
