In addition, it provides thrust throughout a much wider speed range than a ramjet, yet is much cheaper and easier to control than a gas turbine engine. The air turborocket fills a niche (in terms of cost, reliability, ruggedness, and duration of thrust) between the solid-fuel rocket motor and gas turbine engine for missile applications.
EDePro rocket “107-ER” is fully compatible with the multiple rocket launcher systems used for the original rocket. [ 3 ] R122 mm G-2000/G-M - Rocket “G-2000” is a 122mm caliber with an approximate range over 40 km which is currently the longest-range rocket.
The ATREX engine (Air Turbo Ramjet Engine with eXpander cycle) developed in Japan is an experimental precooled jet engine that works as a turbojet at low speeds and a ramjet up to mach 6.0. ATREX uses liquid hydrogen fuel in a fairly exotic single-fan arrangement.
As the rocket moves through the atmosphere the air enters the front of the tube, where it is compressed via the ram effect. As it travels down the tube it is further compressed and mixed with the fuel-rich exhaust from the rocket engine, which heats the air much as a combustor would in a ramjet. In this way a fairly small rocket can be used to ...
iRocket (Innovative Rocket Technologies Inc) is a startup based in New York, founded in 2018, which develops rocket engines and a small reusable launch vehicle named Shockwave. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In 2021 iRocket signed a Space Act Agreement With NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to accelerate the development of its reusable rocket engine.
A rocket turbine engine is a combination of two types of propulsion engines: a liquid-propellant rocket and a turbine jet engine. Its power-to-weight ratio is a little higher than a regular jet engine, and works at higher altitudes. [1] [2] [3]

China subsequently developed its own missile family based on the Aspide Mk.1, with surface to air versions designated as the LY-60, and an air-to-air version designated as PL-11. The rocket engine of the Aspide is produced by Turkish missile manufacturer Roketsan. [2] It weighs about 75 kg and produces 50 kN of thrust for 3.5 s.
