It is planned here to perform partial and concrete demonstrations serving as bricks of comprehensive engine roadmaps. The present procurement proposal fosters hardware-rich activities and aims at going fast to hot-fire tests. The main objective is to accumulate hot-fire testing and hardware destructive inspection results on critical aspects of high thrust liquid propulsion with staged combustion. Different scopes of demonstration are eligible, among others: – Complete staged-combustion engine cycle – Pressure-fed combustion devices – Turbopumps with or without combustion device(s).
