How many fuel tanks are in a rocket?
A rocket typically has multiple fuel tanks, with some rockets having separate tanks for liquid oxygen and rocket fuel. The number of fuel tanks can vary depending on the design and size of the rocket, but there are usually at least two separate tanks for different propellants.
What kind of fuel does a spaceship use?
A spaceship can use different types of fuel depending on its design and mission requirements. Common propellants include liquid hydrogen, kerosene, and solid rocket fuel. Some advanced spacecraft may use ion propulsion systems that use xenon gas as fuel.
What engine is used in a rocket ship?
Rocket engines can vary, but some common types include liquid fuel engines (using liquid fuel and oxidizer) and solid fuel engines (using a solid propellant). Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, based on factors like thrust, efficiency, and complexity.
Why are spacecrafts small and lightweight?
The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be. While some Spacecrafts are not light weight such as the Apollo 11 But is the Largest And Fastest That Got to the moon
What are some examples of rocket fuel?
Some examples of rocket fuels include liquid hydrogen, kerosene, liquid oxygen, and solid propellants such as ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) or solid rocket boosters. The choice of rocket fuel depends on factors like the specific mission requirements, efficiency, and safety considerations.

What are some different types of fuel and why they are different?
because there are many kinds of fuels

How did scientists find out the different fuels that made the rocket fly up into space?
Um... chemistry. Anything that burns quickly can be used as a rocket fuel (obviously, some things are better than others).
What are some types of fuel?
First, fuel is anything combustible. So there are two types of fuel: renewable and none-renewable fuel.
What source of energy is used by the rocket?
Rockets primarily use chemical energy by burning a combination of fuel and oxidizer to produce thrust for propulsion.
How many stages in a rocket engine?
It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.
Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?
There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
What are the different types of mainframe systems?
what are some different types of mainframes
What are some suggestions for model rocket fuel?
somethinjg that burns good, soaked in gas, and compressed.
