Russia has tested a rocket engine that can run for more than three thousand seconds (50 minutes), making it a record-breaking long-running engine. This is reported by TASS .
When compared with other products, it works almost 10 times more efficiently, since a conventional third-stage rocket engine usually runs for about 280 seconds.
"We conducted such a long test, and the engine worked not only for 750 seconds per launch, but worked for more than three thousand seconds, "said Viktor Gorokhov, chief designer of JSC" KB Khimavtomatiki".
He also stressed that the new oxygen-kerosene engine is the most economical, as it is arranged according to a closed circuit.
Earlier it was reported that the US Navy conducted the first fire tests of a solid-fuel engine designed for hypersonic missiles. In May, Popular Mechanics magazine wrote that the LRHW, launched from London, is capable of hitting Moscow during a military conflict.
