| Tiger Tail was the first
propellant used at OPL. The formulation was derived from Ted
Proseus. It had a low aluminum content, therefore very low
smoke and a well defined flame. Mach diamonds are perfectly
visible in the larger motors. Both a low and high solids
variety have been tested. The low solids is generally a medium
burn / medium thrust propellant. The high solids is about 33%
faster.
