Aerospace Propulsion Systems

Silent, clean, environmentally firendly engines

Conventional rocket engines

They require huge amounts of rocket fuel; which in itself is very heavy.
A great part of the thrust and energy is used in lifting all the rocket propellant required to get out of orbit. 80% of the load is rocket fuel.
This means enormous, heavy, costly spacecraft.
The whole system is inefficient!

Use liquid and solid propellant

Produce polluting exhaust gasses

Are extremely noisy

vibration

Have considerable vibration

Our rocket engines

Our silent powerful propulsion systems will enable speeds never seen before.
They can function in and out of the atmosphere and even under water!

Do not use liquid or solid rocket fuel

Do not produce exhaust gasses

Are environmentally friendly!

Can work even underwater

Raptor Engine

SpaceX use Raptor engines and solid fuel rocket boosters.
A Raptor engine costs €1m USD - SpaceX plan to bring this cost down to €250k
Fuel usage is an additional €200k per launch.

Raptor Engine

“Reusing a Falcon 9 rocket costs €15 million, according to Elon Musk.
€10 million is needed to produce a new upper stage, he said, and of this amount, the majority goes toward construction. Each time we launch it, we need a new one since it is not reusable (and will never be)”.

Rocket engines are constructed of superalloys, they are complex, expensive and prone to a high rate of failure.
Rocket engines, are not very efficient, they cannot use oxygen from the atmosphere and launch vehicles using rocket engines must carry large quantities of both fuel and oxidizer.

Solar system

Our propulsion system

Aerospace Propulsion Systems aim to enable fast, safer, and cheaper space travel through our solar system.

Low cost

Environmentally friendly

Do not use liquid
or solid propellant

Silent

No exhaust gasses

vibration

No vibration

Does not require large
heavy rocket design

Small powerful
lightweight units

Completely reusable
with no wearing parts

This means that spacecraft in future will be: smaller, lighter, cheaper to operate, can be fully reusable, able to take off and land anywhere, will not need heat shields, can function anywhere even under water, able to reach much faster speeds over 10x present speeds or more
