The three main elements are: FUEL, for solid or liquid engines. This is the part that actually burns. OXIDIZER, for both, as there is not enough oxygen in the fuel cell to cause combustion. Combustion causes expanding gasses and controlled release from the combustion chamber causes thrust. STABILIZER, mostly for solids, and used to maintain a consistent/even burn of the fuel.

Conclusion for a project on various rocket propellants and their characteristics?
A conclusion is a synopsis of the experiment, along with the findings of the experiment. It ties the entire project together.
What is crygenic engine?
A liquid-fuel rocket or a liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form.
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.

Some books about rockets include "Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark, "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickam, and "SpaceX: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species" by Martin Giles.
What is a fuselage on a rocket?
The fuselage of a rocket is the main part of the rocket :)
What are two main types of rocket engines?
The two main types of rocket engines are Solid fuel rocket engines and Liquid fuel rocket engines.
Who is the main singer in Rocket Summer?
Bryce Avary was the main singer in Rocket Summer.
Which fuels have the highest specific impulse?
Solid rocket propellants have the highest impulse densities typically 17 lbm-sec/in^3 or greater. Bi-propellant liquid rocket propellants such as Liquid Oxygen/Kerosene also have high density impulse, typically 12 lbm-sec/in^3 while Liquid Oxygen/Liquid Hydrogen have low density impulse below 6 lbm-sec/in^3.
