    70-ton Liquid Oxygen-Methane Engine

    Product Introduction: 
    The "Longyun" liquid oxygen-methane engine is the first multi-start, reusable, high-thrust liquid rocket engine launched by Jiuzhou Yunjian. It can serve as the primary first-stage propulsion system for medium- to large-scale liquid launch vehicles. The "Longyun" engine boasts a sea-level thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 80, delivering a sea-level thrust of 70 tons and a vacuum thrust of 80 tons, with a thrust modulation range spanning from 32% to 106%. This engine can be configured in parallel setups of up to five units for rockets with a diameter of 3.35 meters, seven units for 3.8-meter-diameter rockets, or nine units for 4.2-meter-diameter rockets. Each individual module supports liftoff masses ranging from 350 to 630 tons, while the heaviest configuration—utilizing multiple parallel modules—can achieve liftoff masses as high as 1,800 tons. Currently, the "Longyun" engine has successfully completed a 7,000-second hot-fire test evaluation. Notably, it marks the first domestic achievement of ignition testing using stainless steel tanks paired with a liquid oxygen-methane engine. In 2024, the engine will undergo suborbital flight tests and sea-based recovery operations.

Longyun Engine

The "Longyun" liquid oxygen-methane engine is the first multi-start, reusable, high-thrust liquid rocket engine launched by Jiuzhou Yunjian. It can serve as the primary first-stage propulsion engine for medium-to-large-sized liquid launch vehicles. The "Longyun" engine boasts a sea-level thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 80, delivering a sea-level thrust of 70 tons and a vacuum thrust of 80 tons, with a thrust regulation range spanning from 32% to 106%. This engine can be applied in configurations of up to five engines in parallel for rockets with a diameter of 3.35 meters, seven engines in parallel for 3.8-meter-diameter rockets, and nine engines in parallel for 4.2-meter-diameter rockets. Each single module supports liftoff masses ranging from 350 to 630 tons, while the maximum liftoff capacity for heavy-duty parallel configurations can reach up to 1,800 tons. Currently, the "Longyun" engine has successfully completed a 7,000-second hot-fire test evaluation. Notably, it marks the first domestic achievement of ignition testing using stainless steel tanks paired with a liquid oxygen-methane engine. In 2024, the engine will undergo suborbital flight tests and sea-based recovery operations.
