Explore the innovative collaboration between LEAP 71 and HBD in creating the largest 3D printed aerospike rocket engine.

LEAP71 continues to break records, this time with the world’s largest 3D-printed aerospike rocket engine. There’s quite a story behind this feat. Aerospike engines are very different from conventional ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers as single, sculpted pieces of metal. Instead of treating 3D printing as a ...

LEAP 71 and metal additive manufacturing (AM) firm HBD have additively manufactured an aerospike rocket engine that can generate 20 tons (200 kN) of thrust. At one-metre in height, the partners ...

Imagine you’re driving to work on a rainy day, when a distracted, reckless driver hits your car out of nowhere. With a “boom,” an airbag deploys faster than you can blink your eyes to save your life.

3D printing for rocket engines is making a lot of headlines lately. In the last few weeks, we've told you about Aerojet Rocketdyne building and hot-firing a 3D-printed rocket engine and NASA's ...

A new rocket, the world's first made up of mostly 3D-printed components and fueled by liquid natural gas, blasted off on its maiden flight Wednesday night and climbed out of the lower atmosphere only ...

An almost entirely 3D-printed rocket is ready to blast off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, then head for low Earth orbit. Scheduled for a three-hour launch window that opens at 1 pm Eastern time ...

Many firsts: The Agnikul mission was packed with multiple firsts that have significant implications both for India and the world. It marked the country's inaugural rocket launch from a privately owned ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...
