<p>A rocket engine comprises a prechamber and a combustion chamber, two respective feed pipes of the engine, and two turbopumps. The engine is a staged combustion engine. A jet pump is arranged in at least a first feed pipe. After being pressurized, a portion of the fluid flowing in the first feed pipe is directed to the jet pump in order to enable the jet pump to entrain the fluid flowing in said feed pipe to the admission orifice of said first pump, thereby raising the pressure at the feed orifice of the pump.</p> |
