Overview
SKIPPER is currently under development as the flight engine for our lander TOAD. Faced with high cost of outsourced manufacturing for the 3D-printed superTADPOLE, we designed SKIPPER to be made in-house with CNC machinery.
While the unique challenges of traditionally making a regeneratively cooled engine lie ahead, the design will eventually allow us to make a higher-performing engine at a lower cost and faster manufacturing time.
