Reusable Launch Vehicles & Suborbital Systems
At Albacore Aerospace LLC, we’re engineering the future of rapid-response space access with reusable launch vehicles powered by hybrid propulsion systems. Our team is leading innovation in suborbital vehicle design, integrating jet and rocket technologies for scalable, efficient, and repeatable payload delivery.
Volador: Experimental Suborbital Launch Vehicle
The Volador is our flagship test platform, a reusable hybrid propulsion vehicle combining the strengths of turbojets and rocket engines. Designed for tactical and scientific missions, Volador offers:
- One 7,000 Newton rocket engine + two turbojet engines
- Jet fuel and liquid oxygen propellant system
- Maximum altitude capability of 125,000 ft
- Total launch weight of 1,625 lb
- 15 ft height (excluding landing gear)
- Configurable for two-stage missions
Volador is purpose-built for payload delivery, experimental testing, and rapid turnarounds. It embodies our philosophy of agile aerospace development.
Rapid Deployment. Real Results.
Albacore’s launch vehicles are designed with field operations in mind. We focus on reducing ground support requirements and enabling:
- Fast mission setup and launch
- Return-to-launch site (RTLS) recovery
- Scalable configurations based on mission size and payload
- Reliable reusability for cost-effective operations
Our engineering and test operations emphasize real-world mission compatibility, bridging the gap between concept and launchpad.
