Closed Loop Throttle Control of a Liquefying Fuel Hybrid Rocket Motor

The thrust produced by a hybrid rocket motor (HRM) can be controlled by varying the oxidizer flow rate to the combustion chamber. This feature is useful in shaping motor thrust profiles and optimizing a vehicle flight trajectory, but propellant throttling in solid-fuel hybrids is limited to the liqu...
