1.7 to 2.9 km/s (3800 to 6500 mi/h) for liquid monopropellants; 2.9 to 4.5 km/s (6500 to 10100 mi/h) for liquid bipropellants; 2.1 to 3.2 km/s (4700 to 7200 mi/h) for solid propellants; As a note of interest, v e is sometimes referred to as the ideal exhaust gas velocity because it based on the assumption that the exhaust gas behaves as an ...
The four expansion regimes of a de Laval nozzle: • under-expanded • perfectly expanded • over-expanded • grossly over-expanded. The most commonly used nozzle is the de Laval nozzle, a fixed geometry nozzle with a high expansion-ratio. The large bell- or cone-shaped nozzle extension beyond the throat gives the rocket engine its ...
The expanding nozzle is a type of rocket nozzle that, unlike traditional designs, maintains its efficiency at a wide range of altitudes. It is a member of the class of altitude compensating nozzles, a class that also includes the plug nozzle and aerospike. While the expanding nozzle is the least technically advanced and simplest to understand ...
The increased thrust from the C-D nozzle (2,000 lb, 910 kg at sea-level take-off) on this engine raised the speed from Mach 1.6 to almost 2.0 enabling the Air Force to set a world's speed record of 1,207.6 mph (1,943.4 km/h) which was just below Mach 2 for the temperature on that day. The true worth of the C-D nozzle was not realised on the F ...
For first stage rocket engines, the engine works with nozzle extension in disposed position during the first minutes of flight and expands it at some predefined level of air pressure. This scheme assumes the outer skirt of the bell is extended while the engine is functioning and its installation to working position happens in the upper layers ...

The ED nozzle has been known about since the 1960s and there has been several attempts to develop it, with several reaching the level of static hot-firings. These include the 'Expansion-Deflection 50k' [2] (Rocketdyne), the 'Expansion-Deflection 10k' [3] and the RD-0126 [4] (CADB). Rocketdyne also developed a third, smaller E-D nozzle.
A stepped nozzle (or dual-bell nozzle [1]) is a de Laval rocket nozzle which has altitude compensating properties.. The characteristic of this kind of nozzle is that part of the way along the inside of the nozzle there is a straightening of the curve of the nozzle contour, followed by a sharp step outwards.
