Looking great! So curious about the interesting shape at the base of the nozzle…

Looks good. I hope those momentary streaks of green are norminal though.

Based on startup behavior/shock diamond evolution I’m guessing a Pc of around 175bar. Tell me I’m wrong.

This is the fourth full cycle combustion engine ever built. Kudos to @stoke_space 👍

Light this up. 12 HydroLox Nozzles, not engines. It spins at 100 RPM, centrifugal force fed water through 12 PEM to electrolysis for H2/O2. All nozzles are water cooled, by the same water carried as fuel. It's the Propulsion module of my conceptual spacecraft named #NOVAPROJECT

Very shy gimbal, but great job 👏🏼

Congratulation🥂 Two questions: What is the maximum gimbal angle on these engines? It looked like it was around 10 degrees. Did engine suffer some minor damage?? Some green flashes were coming out in the exhaust most probably copper particles.

@stoke_space is this low nozzle ratio nozzle similar to pre-ssmes prototype nozzles, what is the nozzle ratio for zeniths extension. I also noticed that when engines have their nozzles lengthen it extends the instability at cutoff or shutdown as air fills the bell.

Fresh look at our @prattandwhitney F100 testing at HEAT – this engine will power our supersonic aircraft, Quarterhorse Mk 2. We’ll continue to increase both capacity and capability at our HEAT facility with future phases introducing continuous high-Mach vitiated airflow to enable more flight-like supersonic and hypersonic testing conditions on the ground.

I've come to appreciate boring hotfires. Our BE-7 team recently completed a 2,500 second hotfire test at 10klbf on a development engine, setting the record for the longest-duration turbo pump-fed liquid rocket engine hotfire. This built on some of the most rigorous testing in the history of propulsion, with the previous record set by the RS-25 engine that powered the Space Shuttle. They recorded two 2,017 second tests in 1988. It's not lost on us that we're following a path those engineers blazed, and we're grateful for it. Grab the popcorn and enjoy watching 41 minutes of hotfire goodness.

November was a busy month across Terran R test campaigns. 🛢️ Second stage tank successfully completed acceptance testing with 30+ load cases, including pressure proofing and flight-load simulations. 💨 Transonic and supersonic wind tunnel testing wrapped with 100+ runs of the first stage entry configuration. 🔥 Aeon V dev engine test campaign completed; Aeon R flight engine acceptance testing progressing at NASA Stennis. 🌡️ Hot gas testing executed on the stage press valve to validate performance under extreme thermal transients.

30 sec of pure power and precision. Stage 2 is ready for Spectrum’s second flight after completing static hotfire testing. We further boosted Stage 2 performance by streamlining its design and reducing complexity. Enjoy watching while we’re getting ready Andøya Space .

Love seeing New Glenn's seven BE-4 engines come alive! Congratulations to Team Blue on today's hotfire. We extended the hotfire duration this time to simulate the landing burn sequence by shutting down the non-gimballed engines after ramping down to 50 percent thrust, then shutting down the outboard gimballed engines while ramping the center engine to 80 percent thrust. This helps us understand fluid interactions between active and inactive engine feedlines during landing. Next, we will mate NASA's ESCAPADE payload to the launch vehicle and enter final preparations for launch.

Roscosmos shows full-duration static fire of the RD-0124MS engine for the second stage of Soyuz-5/Sunkar rocket. The first flight-worthy RD-0124MS engine was delivered and installed on the second stage last year. With that, the engine is now ready for flight tests.
