SkyRipper Systems

Sky Ripper Systems monotube hybrids are designed from a systems approach, where the reloads and motor internals are common for all motors in a diameter class, and changes in total impulse are made by selecting Varying length cases.

wRASP 2.1 Files


Note:  These files were made from data taken during tests with nitrous temperatures on the higher end of the scale (90 degrees+).  Users should know that the data shows higher average thrusts and lower total thrusts than what would be normal for a launch with temps in the mid 70's.
