Jet engines and liquid rocket engines have much in common. Both pump fuel and oxidizer into a combustion chamber to develop ... difference is that rockets carry their oxidizer with them whereas jet engines use air as their source of oxygen. In rocket engine terminology, the term "jet" usually refers to the stream of ...

Image:11D58Mengine.jpg 400px The close-cycle liquid fuel rocket engine 11D58M of TsKBEM development. This engine of 8.5 tons thrust uses oxygen and hydrocarbon fuel as propellant components. It was the world’s first engine to provide multiple in-flight firing. Category:Engine
