Thrust-chamber technology for the next Ariane generation

Thrust-chamber technology for the next Ariane generation
Thrust-chamber pressure is one of the most important performance parameters of all modern rocket engines. The higher the pressure, the greater the efficiency with which the engine converts the chemical energy of the fuel into thrust. To attain high operating pressures, high-performance engines need additional gas-generator combustion chambers to power the fuel pumps.
