Our 20 kN MethaLOX bell-nozzle engine post hot-fire. This... engine was generated by the same Noyron Computational Engineering Model as our aerospike. The engines look entirely different but are simply two expressions of the same thruster DNA.show more

20 kN cryogenic methane / liquid oxygen rocket engine... ready to fire. Generated autonomously in a matter of hours by the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model. Metal 3D-printed in copper (CuCrZr). From pure spec to test in less than 3 weeks.show more

Our first aerospike rocket thruster. 5 kN (1,125 lbf)... kerolox. Aerospikes are among the hardest rocket engines to develop. Few teams have successfully hot-fired liquid-propellant versions, and none has yet flown to space. Although the geometry is radically different from a conventional bell nozzle, the governing physics are the same. That makes aerospikes an ideal fit for Noyron, which generates engines from underlying physical principles rather than from CAD drawings. An aerospike turns the conventional nozzle inside out. Its toroidal geometry eliminates the fixed outer bell wall, which forces a conventional thruster to choose one atmospheric regime. A sea-level bell nozzle sacrifices performance at high altitude. A vacuum-optimized nozzle cannot be operated safely at sea level. Aerospikes are efficient under all atmospheric conditions, making them highly relevant for reusable upper stages that fly back from space to the launch site. Cooling them is the biggest challenge. Our engine uses liquid oxygen to regeneratively cool the inner spike and kerosene fuel to cool the outer shroud. The resulting warm LOX gives the engine a nice Isp boost. We hot-fired this engine in December 2024. Its early success encouraged us to pursue aerospikes as a parallel track across our engine programs.show more

Sub scale version of our hypersonic precooler - generated... from the same Noyron DNA as the large 1.5m version we printed with Farsoon.show more

Made in Dubai. We printed this 200 kN MethaLOX... Aerospike rocket engine with HBD out of Inconel 718. The refined version of this thruster will power the fully reusable upper stage of the Oryx spacecraft made by Aspire Space.show more

Recent 10-sec dev hot-fire of our HP250 thruster —... our 250 N (56 lbf) biprop thruster. We run hundreds of hot-fire tests as we develop and qualify our engines, cycling through design, print, test, analyze, and repeat until the design is perfected for our customers’ mission needsshow more

This rocket engine wasn't designed by humans, but by... AI. It was created using Noyron, a physics based engineering AI built by LEAP 71. Instead of learning from past designs, it uses real physics, thermodynamics, and manufacturing rules to generate engines directly from requirements.show more

Now they look and sound nice. I guess it... was not the same in the 1940s... BF-109 engine start-up (by the looks of it, a "real" one, using the DB Engine and not the RR Engine)show more

'cause i'm still the same, but only entirely different

Aerospike engine still feels like the smartest idea we... never fully used.show more

Every week, our team conducts fire tests to validate... the performance, reliability, and endurance of COSMOS engine. As the largest methane-fueled rocket engine developed in Japan, it requires a high-frequency testing to gather critical data rapidly, accelerating our development.show more

If you look closely, you can see a human... walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster.show more

🇮🇳 Methalox is the future, and India knows it:... ISRO completed the first full-scale gas generator ignition test for its 1,100 kN LME1100 engine! Full-engine hot fires target mid-2027 for NGLV, while design of 2,400kN FFSC engine for crewed lunar landing already completed #INSPACEshow more

Reform is not just a name, it’s our vision.... As we start the revolution by activating our engine and establishing strong partnerships, our focus remains clear: The launch of $RFRM in the upcoming year. We are thrilled to start this movement with you. Welcome aboard.show more

My husband was attempting to fix our car's engine,... but then the real mechanic showed up...show more

Smoke venting from the engine tailpipe shortly after shutdown.... This is often caused by small amounts of residual oil or fluids contacting hot internal components and vaporising as the engine cools down.show more
