This is a new experimental series of engines, with the goal to transform the way that propulsion, especially vacuum propulsion, is utilized.

Xperimental

Test

Aerospike

This test bed is demonstrating that aerospike technology of this suite can be done, and the next few XTAs will be showing how this applies practically to usage on vacuum stages.

    @PZLAerospacesAgency That wasn’t the point of this.

    @Wenhop I have a suggestion: you should use actual aerospike nozzles instead of bell and a aerospike thing in the center. Like look at the Delta-V bump on my aerospike. It can literally go into orbit with just that!

    @PZLAerospace idk. Brisk 2 is my main priority, but I'll probably start working on XTA-2 soon.

    When you upload the next few XTA’s I will use them on my rocket.

    @Wenhop lol I guess people started finding some ideas, hey I uploaded a V2 version with way more stability and maneuverability but it auto credited my V1, I’ll fix it to where it credits XTA on the V3

    @LunaMelodies It should auto-credit me by default, but thanks for asking!

    Hello I uploaded a build on this engine.
    I don’t know if you caught this about the engines but when in atmospheric pressure the cat engines create the most beautiful exhaust look ever
