The Vulcain engine powers the Ariane 5 main cryogenic stage. Its design is based on the gas generator cycle : two turbopumps are driven by a single gas generator which is fed by propellants tapped(3% of total) from the main flow of fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber. 2, record 2, English, - Vulcain%20engine

Le moteur Vulcain assure la propulsion de l'étage principal cryotechnique d'Ariane 5. Sa conception est basée sur le cycle à flux dérivé, où les turbopompes qui alimentent la chambre sont entraînées par la combustion, dans un générateur de gaz, des ergols prélevés (3 %) sur le circuit principal. 2, record 2, French, - moteur%20Vulcain

Two broad lines of exploration are looking at the fighter engine of the 1990s, one aimed at the variable cycle and the other at the so-called dry turbojet. Two hardware programs, the Advanced Turbine Engine Gas Generator(ATEGG) and Advanced Propulsion System Integrator(APSI) are producing sub-assemblies that might, at some stage, be brought together in a single new engine. 3, record 3, English, - Advanced%20Turbine%20Engine%20Gas%20Generator
