The real problem is that the tanks must be thick walled, thus heavy to withstand the pressure needed to feed the fuel to the engine. So alot of rocket mass is wasted on the tanks. Even the Germans ...

The Lotus-site says “The pressure-fed engine produces 2,500 lbs of thrust with 233 sec Isp SL” – so they use the ususal units. Perhaps they had the rocket on a horizontal foot long spar ...

XCOR Aerospace, Inc., announced today that it has successfully completed its first series of tests on a 50 pound thrust rocket engine fueled by methane and liquid oxygen.

The engine uses the earth-storable bipropellant combinations of Nitrogen Tetroxide as oxidiser and Mono Methyl Hydrazine as fuel in pressure-fed mode. It was developed by ISRO's Liquid Propulsion ...
