Aircraft programs

ProgramManufacturer
Blue Origin New Glenn Blue Origin
Family of two-stage heavy-lift launch vehicles with reusable first stage (capable of 25 flights) whereby post lift-off and seperation, the first stage autonomously descends to a landing platform leaving the second stage engines to ignite and propel the payload into space, then the fairing separates and the payload is delivered into orbit.
Hypersonix Delta Velos Hypersonix Launch Systems
Reusable launch system with scalable design that manoeuvres like an aircraft and is able to accelerate from Mach 5 to Mach 12. In development.
Rocket Lab Electron / HASTE Rocket Lab
Family of two-stage orbital launch vehicles with modified third Kick Stage for precise payload delivery, features nine Rutherford engines on first stage, single vacuum Rutherford for second stage.
Rocket Lab Neutron Rocket Lab
Reusable medium-lift two-stage launch vehicle featuring nine Archimedes engines for first stage, one for second stage, and “Hungry Hippo” fairing meaning there is no separation between stages, instead the fairing opens like a clamshell to deploy the second stage from within the first stage and then closes for atmospheric reentry back to Earth. In development.
