on October 18, 2019 39 minute read Are Aerospikes Better Than Bell Nozzles? Watch on This is a rocket engine. Really, all it is is a heat and pressure machine whose end goal is to convert that heat and pressure into workable thrust. The more that gets converted the better. This conversion is usually done by a large bell nozzle.
