Ariane 5: The Complex Workings of the Ariane Rocket's Cryogenic Engine

The video tutorial explains the workings of the Vulcan cryogenic engine used in the Aryan rocket. It covers the complexity of the engine, starting with a gas generator that uses liquid oxygen and hydrogen to create a flame. This flame powers turbines that drive turbopumps, which push the propellants into the combustion chamber. The video also discusses the challenges of pumping liquid hydrogen, the combustion process, and the role of helium in pressure calibration.
