- The
staged combustion cycle (sometimes
known as
topping cycle,
preburner cycle, or
closed cycle) is a
power cycle of a
bipropellant rocket engine. In...
- twin-shaft
staged combustion cycle that uses both oxidizer-rich and fuel-rich
preburners. The
cycle allows for the full flow of both
propellants through the turbines...
-
employs an oxygen-rich
preburner,
unlike typical fuel-rich US designs. The
thermodynamics of the
cycle allow an oxygen-rich
preburner to give a
greater power-to-weight...
- only hydrogen,
allowing for
greater specific impulse. The RD-701 has two
preburners per
combustion chamber, both of
which run
oxygen rich. One is used to...

bipropellant liquid rocket engines.
Propellant is
burned in a gas
generator (or "
preburner") and the
resulting hot gas is used to
power the
propellant pumps before...

injectors for the
SABRE preburners. In 2020,
Airborne Engineering conducted a test
campaign on an "HX3 module" (
