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

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