The thick trail of black smoke left by SpaceShipOne would tend to indicate that the HTPB/N2O hybrid rocket used on that particular craft is less than green. However, since hybrid rockets are not exactly mainstream technology, little information is available regarding their emission characteristics. This, of course, will likely change should hybrid rockets ever become more widely used. And efforts will likely be made to reduce emissions.

What is a hybrid Rocket propellant?
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
Can you use sugar as the fuel in a hybrid rocket motor?
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 is HPM motor?
HYBRID PERMANENT MAGNATE Motor
How many engines does a car have?
One, unless if it is a hybrid. A hybrid has one gas motor and one electric motor
How do they put a rocket motor into a rocket?
If you have a standard kit, the motor goes in the tube at the bottom so that the end of the motor with a clay nozzle sticks out. Place an igniter in the motor and (if you are using Estes or Quest motors) put the plug ontop of the igniter and push it in. Turn the rocket upright and put it on the pad. If you don't have a rocket with a motor mount meant for this than don't try it.
Why is a hybrid popular?
Hybrid vehicles are popular because they will save you money on gas. A hybrid car will use both gas and an electric motor.
Which engine does a real spaceship have?
Hydrogen/Oxygen rocket motor and chemical rocket motors.
Can you sniff a model rocket?
After the motor is burnt you can !
Is motor oil toxic to human body?
Motor oil is toxic. New motor oil has fresher, lighter hydrocarbons that can have short-term effects on some organisms, while used motor oil is more dangerous because its toxicity can contribute to chronic environmental hazards such as carcinogenicity.
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 is the difference between a series hybrid and parallel hybrid?
