The TH-11 (Chinese: 天火-11; pinyin: Tiānhuǒ-11, lit. Sky Fire 11) is an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle rocket engine burning LOX and kerosene developed by Space Pioneer. The TH-11 engine features a reusable design, staged combustion cycle, wide usage of 3D printed components (>80%), and short development time, making it a notable achievement within the Chinese commercial space industry.[2]
