The 38 pages that link to Rocket engine, each with the reason it gives.

• TurbofanCompared with: Unlike a turbofan, it does not depend on atmospheric oxygen.

• Gravity assistCompared with: Unlike a rocket burn, an ideal gravity assist redirects velocity without consuming spacecraft propellant.

• AfterburnerCompared with: Unlike an afterburner, a rocket does not depend on oxygen remaining in the surrounding exhaust stream.

• Jet engineCompared with: Unlike an air-breathing jet, it can operate without atmospheric oxygen.

• TurbojetCompared with: Unlike a turbojet, it does not depend on atmospheric oxygen.

• Aircraft engineCompared with: Unlike air-breathing aircraft engines, rockets carry their oxidizer.

• PropellerCompared with: Unlike a propeller, it can generate thrust without drawing in surrounding air.

• RamjetCompared with: A ramjet takes oxygen from the atmosphere, whereas a rocket carries its oxidizer.

• Gas-turbine engineCompared with: It can operate beyond the atmosphere, while most gas turbines rely on inlet air for combustion.
