Dedicated to China's "9 engines in eight years" program initiated by CNSA in 2021 & other state-owned engines or private ones.
"9 engines in eight years" program
1. 200 t full flow staged combustion cycle LOX/CH4 engine (supposedly replacing YF130 as the first stage of Long March 9)
2. 500 t staged combustion cycle LOX/RP-1 engine YF-130 (formerly used for the first stage of Long March 9)
3. 220 t staged combustion cycle LOX/LH2 engine YF-90 (formerly used for the second stage of Long March 9)
4. 360 t staged combustion cycle LOX/RP-1 engine YF-135
5. 100 t staged combustion cycle LOX/RP-1 engine
6. 80 t open cycle LOX/CH4 engine YF-209
7. 85 t open cycle LOX/RP-1 YF-102
8. 25 t closed expander cycle LOX/LH2 YF-79 (formerly used for the third stage of Long March 9)
9. 8 t staged combustion cycle LOX/RP-1
Rocket engines & rockets are nothing but commercial & industrial products and can be and should be mass produced just like cellphones & computers.
