NP-915 ICARUS
Icarus was the largest and most powerful hybrid engine built and tested by SRT. There are two versions distinguished by the injector design used. The engine features a light-weight composite tank (Luxfer), custom ball-valve actuation system, removable coin injector system with vortex injection, and a cubic graphite nozzle. All fittings are 304/316 Stainless Steel, while the injector and combustion chamber are made from 6061-T6 Aluminum.
