74 seconds hot fire test - Helix engine

74 seconds! This is the total time we have now hotfired our Helix in flight configuration. The test campaign consisted of three tests of 4, 30 and 40 seconds each - without the need to replace any components on the engine. A great achievement which once again illustrates how reliable and performant Helix is.

Sehr cool, dass ein fortgeschrittenes Triebwerk aus DE kommt! In welches Startsystem wird "Helix" integriert, Smallsat-Launcher oder doch eine Mittelklasse-Rakete? Und warum habt ihr euch für einen so komplexen Verbrennungszyklus entschieden?

Very nice!

where do you do your fire testing .. right now our community in Canada is having issues with Spaceryde testing on rural property near homes and farms .. just wondering if you do your testing remotely by comparison .

How do oxidizer-rich engine cycle engines compare in cost to other engine types? The super alloys needed to keep the pumps from melting are not cheap.
-
Just a question. What is the engine cycle type and the name of this engine? Just curious.

74 seconds will not get a rocket into space..
