Open Source Liquid Fuel Rocket (Hypergolic Variety)
Contents
Basics
- A rocket engine that uses the burning of a liquid fuel and liquid oxidiser to produce thrust
- These require no ignitor, as as soon as the liquids touch they ignite
- Can be throttled, stopped, and restarted
- Unlike the Open Source Liquid Fuel Rocket (Fuel Oxydizer Variety), these can be started and stopped as long as there is fuel
- Useful both as a sea level booster, and as a high atmosphere/orbital rocket (albeit with nozzle modification etc.)
- Is extremely reliable
