The 3-D printed RL10 copper thrust chamber would replace the current RL10C-1 model design that uses a very complex array of drawn, hydroformed stainless steel tubes that are brazed together to ...

Directed Manufacturing Inc. developed the rocket engine injector that was tested Aug. 22 during an engine firing that generated a record 20,000 pounds of thrust.

Some thrust reversers also open directly into the combustion chamber of the engine, rather than the cold layer. It's the same effect, just with hot air instead of cool air.

Elon Musk and SpaceX are looking at extreme ideas like deleting the whole hot fuel gas manifold and merging the fuel pump with the main chamber injector. Elon Musk told his team that We are on a ...

SpaceX is printing rocket parts, including the thrust chamber on the engines for its Dragon V2 spacecraft, which it hopes will one day deliver NASA astronauts to the International Space Station.
