raketikütus
Usage examples
  • Seepärast tulebki raketikütustest juba Maal eraldada kõik selles lahustunud gaasid.
propellant
Usage examples
  • The propellant attains its velocity by burning with an oxidizer in a high-pressure chamber. The resultant high energy exhaust is then funneled through a converging or diverging nozzle. This velocity, coupled with the right mass properties of the propellant, provides the power, or energy, required to get the vehicle into space.
