Hybrid rocket propellants are disclosed that contain azo compounds, i.e., compounds containing the group R-N=N-R' as part of their structure, where R and R' represent a variety of groups including aliphatic, alicyclic and heterocyclic groups. The azo compounds are mixed with the other solid components of the propellant grain and serve either as plasticizers, binders, fuels, or fillers. The effect of including the azo compounds is an increase in the regression rate of the grain as the propellant burns.
