Canadian Arrow completed the first series of tests on our 57,000 lb thrust engine in November 2003. This engine seen running above is the first in our series of engines derived from the V-2 technology.

Single Burner Test: 2002
The V-2 engine combustion chamber shown above contains 18 of the burner cups, and produces 57,000 lbs of thrust. (half a million horse-power)

The original V-2 engines were tested over 25 times with no wear on the engine, which demonstrates that this design can be used for multiple flights.

The test shown at left shows a single burner cup, tested in the summer of 2002, which produced 3,300 lbs of thrust.
