Technology / Rockets / Composite rocket motor: A composite rocket motor is any rocket motor which doesn't use black powder as it's propellant. Often, they require hotter igniters to light and potent oxidizers to burn the fuel, but they offer higher performance than the standard black powder rocket motors. Since they offer about twice the performance of black powder motors, composite propellant for an 'E' motor would fit inside a 24 x 70 mm casing normally designed for a black powder 'D' motor.
