@isro @SolidBoosters2 @Lokeshkr73 I thought LMLV was supposed to be a tricore NGLV, but again LMLV is still under a discussion phase , so we see it change.

Our first test flight is just the beginning! Behind the scenes, we are focused on up-scaling and improving our technology. We are excited to announce that we have successfully tested the central subsystem of our Helix 2.0 oxygen-rich staged-combustion engine: the powerpack. We have performed two successful hot-fire tests in which we have shown steady-state operation and cavitation limits. The powerpack incorporates the turbopump and pre-burner(s). It is the most complex as well as the most mechanically and thermally stressed subsystem of a staged-combustion engine. This milestone validated key technological challenges, such as the simultaneous ignition of multiple pre-burners and turbopump cavitation performance. The results are in-line with the predictions from our design models. The closed-cycle architecture of Helix allows us to push the performance envelope further: Helix 2.0 is designed to deliver double the thrust (200kN), while mass, production technology and costs remain comparable to Helix 1.0. The result for our customers: more payload for a lower budget! Excited about this news? Check out our career portal for employment opportunities and help us to elevate our Helix staged-combustion engine technology to the next level! ➡️

GE9X Water Ingestion Test - Proving the World's Largest Jet Engine Can Survive Extreme Rain The General Electric GE9X, built for the Boeing 777X, must pass brutal certification tests before entering service. One of the toughest is the water ingestion test. What Is the Water Ingestion Test? This test checks if the engine can continue operating safely during extremely heavy rain. During the test: Large amounts of water are sprayed directly into the engine intake The engine runs at high power Engineers monitor performance and stability How the Test Is Performed In a specialized test facility: Water nozzles simulate intense rainfall Thousands of liters of water are injected into the airflow The engine operates at different thrust levels Sensors monitor: Combustion stability Compressor performance Temperature and pressure changes What Engineers Are Checking The engine must prove that: No flameout occurs No compressor stall happens Thrust remains stable Internal components are not damaged Even with massive water flow, the engine must keep running smoothly.

This video shows a static fire test of the Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.

🚨 BIG: 🇮🇳 India's next defence breakthrough could be powered by this homegrown engine Hyderabad-based Paninian India has unveiled the Yantur 4.5 kN turbofan engine programme, claiming it to be India's first privately developed compact turbofan engine in its class. The indigenous engine is being developed to power the company's SVAYATT-L1 long-range cruise missile and could also support future collaborative combat drones through higher-thrust variants. The programme has completed its conceptual and detailed design phases and is now progressing toward subsystem testing, validation and full engine certification, with the company aiming to strengthen India's indigenous defence propulsion capabilities.

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."

Its Total Technical Life was recently extended by HAL from 2,000 to 2,500 flying hours. The 177S can deliver 142 kN AB and 88 kN dry thrust, around 16% higher AB thrust, along with a 6,000-hour service life and lower fuel consumption.

Raw thrust, pure legacy. The General Electric J79 is a military turbojet built for speed, power, and high-altitude performance. Air is compressed, mixed with fuel, and ignited to produce high-energy exhaust gases that drive the turbine and exit at extreme velocity, generating thrust. With an afterburner system, additional fuel is injected into the exhaust stream, delivering a massive boost in thrust when needed. Designed to power legendary aircraft like the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, it became known for its high thrust-to-weight ratio and distinctive performance in supersonic flight. Its robust design and ability to operate under extreme conditions made it a cornerstone of early jet combat technology. Built for speed. Proven in the skies.
