Bipropellant Liquid Rocket Engine
A bipropellant liquid rocket engine uses separate fuel and oxidizer propellants, such as RP-1 and liquid oxygen, to generate thrust through chemical reaction in a combustion chamber. It falls under HTS 8412.10.00 as a reaction engine other than turbojets, specifically designed for spacecraft propulsion where reaction mass is expelled at high velocity.
