Aerospace startup Polaris Raumflugzeuge has been awarded a contract by the German government's Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr (BAAINBw) (Federal Office of ...

Interestingly, the rocket engine was created entirely by an advanced artificial intelligence system. LEAP 71’s “Noyron,” a powerful Large Computational Engineering Model, autonomously generated the ...

If you take a really close look at the present-day aerospace industry, you'd be amazed to learn how many companies, old and new, are working on incredible projects that may forever change our world.

Most of all rockets we see have a bell-shape cone at the bottom to direct the exhaust of a rocket engine. With the proper guidance of the rigid nozzle made of a thermally stable material, the exhaust, ...

We are all witnessing an unprecedented growth of the aerospace industry and an important part of that is rocket engine development, meant to increase efficiency while cutting costs. One of these ...

The aerospike engine—which uses air pressure to shape the downward force needed to launch a spacecraft—has been on the cusp of entering mainstream rocketry for decades. Now, a new company called Leap ...

Aerospike engines will use 25–30% less fuel at low altitudes. Rocketdyne did a lot of tests in the 1960s on this technology. NASA tried to make aerospikes work for the X-33 program in the 1990s. Three ...

Last time I talked about how the Skunk Works is building a new kind of rocket engine which could make it 10 times cheaper to get into space. This engine, which I have actually touched with my bare ...

In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, a Linear Aerospike engine to be used for propulsion for the X-33 Reusable Launch vehicle (RLV) is shown being tested on April 27, 1997. A testing ...

DLR has tested a MethaLox aerospike engine for the first time, on behalf of the start-up Pangea Aerospace. The DLR and Pangea Aerospace teams successfully conducted several hot-run tests using the ...
