Rocketdyne
The Rocketdyne Division was founded by North American Aviation (NAA) in 1955, and was later part of Rockwell International (1967-1996) and Boeing (1996-2005). In 2005, the Rocketdyne Division was sold to United Technologies Corporation, becoming Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne as part of Pratt & Whitney. In 2013, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne was sold to GenCorp, which merged it with Aerojet to form Aerojet Rocketdyne.
Flometrics
In July 2009 the Flometrics team launched a Rocketdyne LR-101 engine running on bio-fuel developed by the Energy and Environmental Research Center. The fuel ended up pushing the rocket close to Mach 1 and sending it 20,000 ft into the sky. The fuel was developed with the military grade JP-8 fuel criteria in mind. The rocket was originally designed for use on Mythbusters and for RP-1 kerosene based rocket fuel. "This is a unique opportunity for the EERC's renewable fuel," said EERC Director Gerald Groenewold. "Our fuel is already providing a pathway to energy security to the U.S. military and now is becoming an option for ground-to-air missiles and even space flight."
