The four RS-25 engines powered the core stage that paired with two solid rocket boosters from Northrop Grumman, combined to create 8.8 million pounds of thrust on liftoff.

These engines are expected to reach test readiness by 2026 and 2029, respectively. If successful, it could prove the viability of AI-printed rocket engines for large-scale spaceflight.

The system’s first breakthrough came in 2024 with a 5 kN rocket engine. The compact, high-efficiency rocket was fully designed by AI and 3D printed in one go as a single-piece copper engine with ...

Tang’s engine captures this powerful force by compressing air and applying microwave energy, turning ordinary air into thrust-producing plasma. Related Stories ...

This field propels the particles out of the engine, giving the plasma a directed motion that produces thrust. This approach has a power output of about 300 kW, allowing for unprecedented speeds.
