The first full test run of the maximum thrust liquid rocket engine in China was a complete success.

CTOnews.com, November 5, Today, China's largest thrust liquid rocket engine independently developed by the sixth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology Group was successfully tested for the first time.

The sixth Aerospace Academy said that the engine is designed to have a thrust of 500 tons and uses the world's largest supplementary combustion cycle engine thrust chamber. The success of the first test run marks a major breakthrough in the development of this type of engine and is of great milestone significance.

▲ the first complete test run of China's largest thrust liquid rocket engine was a complete success. CTOnews.com of the sixth Aerospace Academy has learned that the thrust of a 500t liquid oxygen kerosene engine is four times that of an active 120t liquid oxygen kerosene engine.

According to reports, after nearly a decade of painstaking efforts to tackle key problems, the research and development team of the sixth Aerospace Institute adopted the all-digital design and management mode for the first time, broke through a series of key and core technologies, and comprehensively improved the development level of liquid rocket engines in China.
