Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyze the accumulated experience in designing rocket engines using computer-integrated technologies, and to identify current areas of development of this issue and tools for solving scientific and practical problems. Design / Method / Approach. The study is based on the analysis of the accumulated experience in the design of rocket engines using computer-integrated technologies. The researchers developed a design algorithm, a modeling algorithm, and a mathematical model for calculating the parameters of liquid-propellant rocket engines and solid-propellant rocket engines. The analysis process covers the design stages with the introduction of the latest digital tools. Findings. The article identifies key areas for modernizing the rocket engine design process. New methods for modeling and analyzing the design stages using computer-integrated technologies have been developed, which allows to increase the efficiency and accuracy of design. Theoretical Implications. The work confirms the importance of using computer-integrated technologies to optimize and improve the rocket engine design process. The theoretical conclusions emphasize the importance of these technologies in ensuring the accuracy and quality of the design of the latest rocket engine models. Practical Implications. The results obtained can be used to improve the design process at modern rocket engine development enterprises. This will increase the competitiveness of such companies and their leading positions in the engineering services market. Originality / Value. The originality of the study lies in an integrated approach to analyzing the rocket engine design process using the latest computer-integrated technologies. The proposed tools and models are new and have significant value for the further development of the industry. Research Limitations / Future Research. The study is limited to the analysis of certain stages of design and the use of individual tools. Further research could focus on expanding the range of digital tools and improving mathematical models for other types of rocket engines. Paper Type. Practitioner Paper, Review of Methods.
