    Rocket engines use propellants to generate high-speed jet thrust without using air for combustion. They can be powered chemically through solid or liquid propellants, or potentially through electrical, solar, beam, or nuclear means in the future. Rocket engines are classified based on their propulsion and can be simple or complex. Common types include liquid-fueled engines like the F-1 and SSME. Rocket engines function through engine cycles like pressure-fed, expander, gas generator, and staged combustion cycles and harness thrust through Newton's third law and combustion thermodynamics. Future rocket engines may use ions or atomic particles for thrust instead of fuel.
