Leap 71 AI-Generated Rocket Engine Firing
Leap 71’s AI-generated rocket engine didn’t take months to design using CAD software, just two weeks, thanks to the team’s Large Computational Engineering Model Noyron. It was designed autonomously without any human intervention”, and then 3D-printed with copper by German metal 3D-printing company AMCM.



The 3D-printed rocket was then post-processed at the University of Sheffield, before being test fired at Airborne Engineering’s facilities in Wescott, UK. What they ended up with was a rocket capable of 5 kN of thrust (20,000 horsepower), and could one day be used for the final “kick stage” of an orbital rocket. Best of all, we may see new versions of this rocket engine sooner than later, as each new iteration takes just minutes to generate using the Noyron AI model.
