Rocket turbine engine

A rocket turbine engine is like a jet engine, but instead of using air to make power, it uses liquid fuel. It works by taking in liquid fuel and mixing it with air, then burning the mix to create hot gases. The hot gases expand and hurry out through a nozzle, creating thrust. This thrust pushes the rocket forward.
