What are two main types of rocket engines?
The two main types of rocket engines are Solid fuel rocket engines and Liquid fuel rocket engines.
How many stages in a rocket engine?
It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.
How do the rocket engines on the Space Shuttle ignite?
As regards the main engines on the rocket, there is an ignitor associated with each rocket motor. An internal "blowtorch" of fuel and oxidizer in each engine is ignited with spark plugs.
What are the disadvantages of liquid fuel rocket engines?
it bad
How many engines does the space shuttle have?
