Internal combustion engines are classified as rotary or reciprocating, depending on the nature of the motion. Rotary types include the open cycle gas turbines, used in the form of "turbojet" and "turboprop" engines for aircraft propulsion and the Wankel engine for vehicles. Reciprocating types include the diesel engine and the spark-ignition engine. 7, record 1, English, - internal%20combustion%20engine

Dans la pratique, un moteur à propulsion ionique se présente comme suit : on choisit une substance dont les atomes ont des électrons très lâches, qui se laissent arracher facilement(tel est notamment le cas du césium...) ;on porte cette substance à des températures telles que ses atomes sont très excités et perdent des électrons; on soumet cette masse d’ions positifs à l'attraction d’électrodes négatives(en portant celles-ci au plus haut potentiel électrique permis par les moyens mis en œuvre) ;on laisse s’échapper ce gaz ionisé par l'arrière du moteur de façon semblable à l'échappement des gaz de combustion d’une fusée chimique. La vitesse d’éjection est de l'ordre de 10 à 200 km/s, selon l'intensité du champ électrique [...] On aboutit ainsi à des impulsions spécifiques de l'ordre de 5 000 à 60 000 s. 6, record 2, French, - propulseur%20ionique

Artifice de divertissement auto-propulsé(ne pas confondre avec une bombe qui est tiré à l'aide d’un mortier), qui permet la dispersion et l'allumage en altitude des éléments d’artifice produisant un effet visuel ou sonore. La fusée est propulsée par un moteur à poudre tout au long de son ascension. Sa trajectoire est stabilisée par une baguette qui est fixée sur le corps et qui retombe lorsque la charge a explosé à son point culminant. Leur sensibilité au vent latéral et le problème représenté par la retombée de ces baguettes expliquent que les fusées ne sont que rarement utilisées par les professionnels.

The Rotary Rocket Company is developing the Roton which is a fully reusable, single-stage-to-orbit, commercial launch vehicle. It will be piloted by a crew of two and is being designed to carry 7,000 lbs to low-earth-orbit. The Roton will takeoff vertically like a conventional rocket powered by a new rotary engine burning liquid oxygen and jet fuel. Once its payload is delivered to orbit, the Roton returns to Earth via a nose-mounted rotor which is deployed in space and used during reentry to help stabilize the craft. Once in the atmosphere, the vehicle will glide like an autorotating helicopter and land vertically, assisted by rotor tip thrusters. 7, record 14, English, - Roton

Le Roton de la Société Rotary Rocket décolle verticalement, propulsé par un moteur de fusée rotatif. Après la libération de la charge utile, le véhicule retourne sur Terre en dépliant des pales d’hélicoptère. Il rentre dans l'atmosphère par la base. Les pales sont d’abord en rotation passive, puis elles sont entraînées par de petites fusées montées à leurs extrémités lors de l'atterrissage vertical. 1, record 14, French, - Roton

Il existe deux types de moteurs suivant le mode d’éjection des gaz ayant servis à l'alimentation des turbopompes [...] Moteur à flux intégré : Dans ce type de cycle, également appelé «topping cycle», les gaz à la sortie de la turbine sont canalisés vers la chambre de combustion et contribuent à la poussée. Une turbopompe fonctionnant suivant ce cycle nécessitera une pression de refoulement des pompes bien plus élevée que pour le système à flux dérivé, cette pression devant être supérieure à la pression chambre. Cette technique donne un rendement de cycle plus élevé(proche de 1) mais conduit à des turbopompes plus lourdes et moins souples de fonctionnement. Ce cycle est utilisé sur la plupart des moteurs russes, mais aussi sur le moteur SSME de la navette spatiale américaine et le moteur japonais LE7 de la fusée H2. 2, record 16, French, - moteur%20%C3%A0%20flux%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9

The orbital aircraft has the capability to fly suborbital missions without propellant transfer, to distances of 3,000 to 6,000 nautical miles, depending on the aerodynamic configuration This capability exists because the airframe is capable of independent takeoff and landing. This offers a transcontinental range for a number of alternate missions that are difficult to imagine for an air launch concept. For the same reason, the tanker and orbital aircraft may be based at different locations, and interfaced only in flight. This offers more basing flexibility and removes the requirements for specialized facilities and ground support equipment such as that needed to mate the Shuttle orbiter to its carrier aircraft. 2, record 17, English, - orbital%20aircraft
