In this study, the design criteria is presented for Finocyl grain, which is easy to generate neutral thrust when designing solid rocket motors. For this purpose, an automated program using drafting method was developed for burn-back analysis and its accuracy was validated. Using this developed program, burn-back analysis was performed with various configuration parameters of Finocyl grain, and the tendency and sensitivity analysis on burning characteristics were performed. Based on this analysis, the design criteria were presented to generate the neutral burning surface area trace for a Finocyl grain.
