They were designed with its Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model and 3D printed with a high-temperature copper alloy.

The aerospike engine—which uses air pressure to shape the downward force needed to launch a spacecraft—has been on the cusp of entering mainstream rocketry for decades. Now, a new company called Leap ...

LEAP 71 hot-fires two orbital-class methalox engines. The engines were designed entirely without human intervention by Noyron.

Interestingly, the rocket engine was created entirely by an advanced artificial intelligence system. LEAP 71’s “Noyron,” a powerful Large Computational Engineering Model, autonomously generated the ...

LEAP71, a Dubai-based startup, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully test-firing a prototype aerospike engine in the United Kingdom. Aerospike engines, known for their unique design and ...

If you take a really close look at the present-day aerospace industry, you'd be amazed to learn how many companies, old and new, are working on incredible projects that may forever change our world.

A joint academic / industry team conducted the first known flight test of a powered liquid-propellant aerospike engine this past Saturday, 20 September 2003. California State University, Long Beach ...

Aerospace startup Polaris Raumflugzeuge has been awarded a contract by the German government's Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr (BAAINBw) (Federal Office of ...

U.S. startup ARCA Space plans the first spaceflight of an aerospike rocket engine in August. The single-stage Demonstrator 3 vehicle will be launched on a suborbital flight to 100 km (330,000 ft.) ...

To me, the audacious part is the stern-first reentry of the first stage. (Not the vertical-landing phase, as amazing as that seems. Watched DC-X prove that out, prior to being offed by the usual ...
