IIT Madras Develops India’s First Hybrid-Rocket VTOL for Controlled Soft Landing
IIT Madras researchers have made a breakthrough in the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technology by being able to couple a live hybrid-rocket-based thruster with a real-time simulator to prove controlled descent and soft landing. Its innovation employs a hybrid propulsion system, the solid-fuel and liquid/gaseous oxidiser, to provide throttle-control, restartability, and simple design, which […]
