Computer artwork of Roton rockets in orbit

Rotary rockets. Computer illustration of two Roton rotary rockets in orbit. One (right) has deployed a satellite (lower right). Roton is a revolution- ary design: far lighter than normal rockets due to its unique engine. Unlike normal rockets, it does not have a single combustion chamber with weighty pumps feeding in fuel. Instead it has a 7 metre wide rotating disc with 96 small combustion cham- bers around it, into which fuel is thrown by the force of the discs rotation. The craft has rotor blades on its nose (not seen here) which are used to stabilise and slow its descent in the manner of a helicopter. Roton has been designed by the Rotary Rocket Company, based in California, USA

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the innovative design of Roton rockets in orbit. Two Roton rotary rockets gracefully float against the backdrop of space, mesmerizing viewers with their futuristic appearance. One of the rockets on the right has successfully deployed a satellite into lower right quadrant, further emphasizing its capabilities. What sets Roton apart from traditional rockets is its groundbreaking engineering. Unlike conventional models burdened by heavy pumps and a single combustion chamber, Roton revolutionizes space travel with its unique engine. At its core lies a remarkable 7-meter wide rotating disc adorned with 96 small combustion chambers encircling it like jewels on a crown. Fuel is propelled into these chambers through the sheer force generated by the disc's rotation. To ensure stability during descent, this extraordinary craft boasts rotor blades on its nose that mimic those found on helicopters. These blades not only aid in maintaining balance but also facilitate controlled deceleration upon re-entry to Earth's atmosphere. The visionary minds behind this revolutionary design belong to none other than California-based Rotary Rocket Company. Their ingenuity and dedication have birthed an awe-inspiring creation poised to redefine rocketry as we know it. Through this stunning artwork, Science Photo Library invites us to marvel at humanity's ceaseless pursuit of innovation and exploration in our quest for understanding outer space.
