Abstract
A research area on liquid rocket engine has been suggested. Downsizing through combustion pressure rise and low price are major issues to gas generator cycle engines. A very high pressure turbopump and material against oxidizer rich environment may be necessary technologies for staged combustion cycle engines. Integrated analysis saving computing time is the trend of rocket engine systems analysis area. Other important research topics are the methane engine for reusable booster to reduce the cost, 3D printing and materials for high temperature or oxidizer rich environment.
Keywords
