The weight of a rocket engine varies significantly depending on the type and design. For example, a small rocket engine may weigh just a few hundred pounds, while larger engines, like those used in the Space Shuttle, can weigh several tons. The F-1 engine used in the Saturn V rocket weighed about 18,500 pounds (8,400 kg). Ultimately, the engine's weight is a crucial factor in the overall design and performance of the rocket.

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).
