Fuel and oxidizer

Propulsion systems are mechanisms that generate thrust to move vehicles, such as rockets, aircraft, and ships, by expelling mass or utilizing external forces like air or water. They are critical in determining the efficiency, speed, and range of vehicles across different environments, from outer space to underwater.

Rockets and spacecraft

When we make things, like toys or clothes, we have to think about how they look and what they're made from. Picking the right stuff to make things is important because it helps them work well and last a long time.

Design And Material Selection

Structural integrity refers to the ability of a structure to withstand its intended load without experiencing failure or excessive deformation. It is a critical consideration in engineering and architecture to ensure safety, functionality, and longevity of buildings, bridges, and other constructions.
