I don't believe that any hybrid rocket engines use sugar as a fuel; while sugar will burn, the specific impulse of sugar is pretty low.
However, the Ansari X-Prize winning "SpaceShipOne" used a hybrid rocket fueled by recycled rubber tires, so I suppose anything is possible.

What does hybridised mean?
To cross-breed, or create a hybrid. Therefore, if I had a hybridised car, it would be a hybrid of one type of engine (say, electric) and another (say, fuel).
What are the release dates for Penn and Teller Tell a Lie - 2011 Hair Bleach Is a Rocket Fuel 1-4?
Penn and Teller Tell a Lie - 2011 Hair Bleach Is a Rocket Fuel 1-4 was released on: USA: 26 October 2011
How do astronauts leave the earth?
astronauts leave earth by the liftoff of the space shuttle and rockets, it is called force of the rocket. The engine starts and liquid fuel comes out of the rocket and pushes them up.
Are liquid fueled rockets still used today?
Solid, hence the name. The propellant in the solid rocket boosters on the US Space Shuttle is composed of ammonium perchlorate, powdered aluminum, iron oxide, and a polymeric binder to hold it all together. There are other possible mixtures as well.
What is the similarities between gasoline powered cars and hybrid cars?
Apart from the power train there is almost no difference whatsoever. They all have a frame or chassis, 4 wheels, suspension and other running gear, there might be small differences to accommodate the extra power source and supply (i.e. batteries, fuel tank, motors, etc.) but nothing significant. Hybrid cars are an engineering exercise on packaging, it is difficult to fit 2 sufficiently powerful engines in a car and their fuel supplies without making the car drasticlly bigger and heavier than a comparable single power source car.Both use internal combustion engines that use gasoline. Both use a transmission to maximize ratio of rpm and speed. Both are equipped with internal climate control mechanisms.
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
A rocket motor (rocket engine) does not need air from the atmosphere. It carries the oxidant (source of oxygen) as well as the fuel.
A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
air
What makes a hybrid rocket engine a hybrid?
Hybrid rockets use a hybrid fuel-oxidizer system, usually a solid fuel with a liquid oxidizer. This allows simpler construction and higher reliability (like solid fuel rockets) but retains the ability to throttle the engine on demand or even turn it off and restart it (like liquid fuel rockets).
What needs to be burnt with oxygen in a rocket motor?
Fuel : for example - kerosene (= jet fuel), alcohol, hydrogen.
What type of rubber is used to make hybrid rocket motors?
The most common synthetic rubbers used in hybrid rocket motors is HTPB (Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene).PBAN (Polybutadiene acrylonitrile) is also a common rubber used as fuel.
What is name of rocket fuel?
The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.
What is the difference between a series hybrid and parallel hybrid?
Parallel hybrid has a fuel tank,which supplies power to an electronic motor. Both the engine and the electronic motor can turn to transmission at the same time,and the transmission then turns to the wheels. Series hybrid- the gasoline engine turns a generator,and the generator can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives transmission.
What is the difference between parallel hybrid and series hybrid cars?
Parallel hybrid has a fuel tank,which supplies power to an electronic motor. Both the engine and the electronic motor can turn to transmission at the same time,and the transmission then turns to the wheels. Series hybrid- the gasoline engine turns a generator,and the generator can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives transmission.
What are the advantages of the Ford Fusion hybrid?
The advantage of the Ford Fusion hybrid is that it has both a gas engine and an electric motor for greater fuel economy and savings. The Ford Fusion hybrid was introduced to the market in 2009.
What are the advantages and disadvantages between a motor car and a hybrid car?
"Motor cars are a lot more powerful in terms of speed and fuel life. However, a hybrid car's battery is electrical which makes the car life regenerative."
What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
How does rocket car work?
Rather than using a traditional gearbox and drivetrain attached to the motor, it simply uses thrust from a rocket motor to propel the car forward. Fuel is mixed inside the motor, ignited, and the exhaust gases create the thrust.
