The first fully integrated E-2 engine is ready for shipping to @NASAStennis for our upcoming full engine test campaign later this year. E-2 is a 22,000 lbf (10 tf) thrust LOX/Kerosene oxidizer-rich, staged combustion engine. Stay tuned for updates.

At our Mojave, CA test site, E-2 ran at boosted thrust for a 1-minute duration, achieving 25,000 lbf thrust and measured 295 seconds Isp. Although E-2 is a kerosene/LOX engine, its plume is blue and transparent, demonstrating its 99%+ combustion efficiency. E-2 is now available

Who has ever seen a LOX/Kerosene liquid 🚀 engine with a blue plume 💎💎💎💎? Not only does it look spectacular, but it also serves as undeniable proof of the 99%+ combustion efficiency achieved in this test. Enjoy this 3-minute, 20-second test of E-2, a mostly 3D-printed 22k

E-2’s first 90-second test fire was a success! It performed at 55% power with a low conservative 1.6 mixture ratio as planned. The hardware appears in perfect condition ready for more tests. This is an exceptional result for a first test article (E-2 SN1). The test was also a key
