Xinkong Aerospace Power Technology (Jiangsu), settled in the Jingjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone in Jingjiang, Jiangsu province, has successfully finished the complete hot test of its self-developed TF-10 hundred-metric-ton liquid rocket engine.
All key performance indicators have met the design requirements and achieved full success.
The focus of this hot test is to assess the collaborative working ability of the engine system and the feasibility of the overall technical solution, accurately collect key data such as engine start-up and shutdown timing, obtain core performance parameters, and effectively verify the reliability of each component and the overall structure.

The company will carry out subsequent engineering standardization, mass production and delivery work based on this, striving to achieve the overall integrated application of rockets as soon as possible.
The TF-10 liquid rocket engine has a sea level thrust of 100 tons and is designed to be reusable more than 30 times.
The successful test is an important milestone for the company to deepen its cultivation in liquid rocket power, marking the official entry of this type of engine (in its inventory) into the engineering and finalization stage.
In recent years, the zone has accelerated the layout of the commercial aerospace industry. It has built an aerospace power industry park, where Xinkong is located.
