Engine

The SpaceLiner concept provides for the use of a single reusable liquid-propellant rocket engine that operates in a staged full-flow combustion cycle. The expansion ratio of the nozzles is adapted to the different tasks of the booster and passenger stages. In addition, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are used as propellants, a combination that is both highly efficient and environmentally friendly.
