About Firehawk Aerospace
Firehawk's mission is to improve America’s defense and aerospace capabilities by producing hybrid rocket engines that are safer, lower cost, and deliver a higher standard of performance.
What Sets Firehawk Aerospace Apart?
We provide the most scalable rocket engine on the market.
The Firehawk 3D-UltraTM Hybrid Rocket Engine follows a streamlined – yet extremely effective – design process that shortens production times to under a year and reduces costs by 90 percent. The simplistic construction and manufacturing system creates a level of scalability that has never been seen before in the propulsion industry.
We produce the only rocket engine with throttling capabilities.
Our patent-protected fuel manufacturing process allows our scientists to produce a revolutionary hybrid rocket engine with true deep-throttle capabilities for commercial aerospace and defense applications.
We 3D print our rocket fuel.
We use an innovative additive manufacturing process to produce highly versatile fuel grains. This approach provides a large potential for customization based on mission requirements, thrust profile, total impulse reliability – and most importantly, cost-effective repeatability.
We deliver a remarkable standard of safety.
Traditional rocket systems pose many dangers to technicians. The Firehawk 3D-UltraTM Hybrid Rocket Engine is designed with zero TNT equivalency when unarmed, which all but eliminates the risk of accidental detonation.

Unfortunately, traditional rocket systems are inherently dangerous. The Firehawk 3D-UltraTM Hybrid Rocket Engine is designed with zero TNT equivalency until operation, considerably reducing storage, handling, and flight risk.
Our Story
Core Vision + Leadership
Safety-First
Rocket testing should not pose a lethal danger to those involved. That’s why we specially designed our hybrid rocket systems to eliminate the risk of accidental explosions while unarmed.
Constant Innovation
Innovation in rocket propulsion technology has slowed in recent decades. However, Firehawk strongly believes that consistently improving the performance and scalability of rocket engines is crucial for the United States to maintain strategic advantages in defense and continue to innovate in space.
Fast Solutions
Our patent-protected production process reduces rocket engine manufacturing times to four to six months – whereas most suppliers of traditional rocket systems require five to seven years. Using a cutting-edge parametric design, Firehawk can model and prototype a new engine in a matter of weeks, conduct testing in three to six months, and be ready for mass production within one year.
Affordability
Feasibility is the key to scaling rocket systems. We’ve created a process that can produce hybrid rocket engines at 1/10th the cost of the engines currently powering our defense systems.
