Synergy Rocket

A High-Bypass Turbofan is a jet engine characterized by a large fan at the front, which generates most of the thrust. The majority of the air drawn in by the fan bypasses the core engine (combustion and turbine areas), flowing around it rather than through it. This bypass air increases the fuel efficiency of the commercial planes.

I had previously proposed ways to have bypass on rocket engines to improve the first stage’s fuel efficiency. Here is a new one. It is an extension of the Yurt Rocket I had explained earlier. My new proposition is to attach small rockets side by side to form a ring. The empty hole in the center will serve as the bypass air intake. As the rocket accelerates to the sky, the air passing through this passage will be further accelerated by the heat from the exhaust of the surrounding rockets. Hence contributing to the thrust of the rockets without additional fuel consumption.

My proposition is to combine standalone rockets to create synergy. Only the first stages of the rockets will be connected to each other. The second stages would be free to continue their journey after they are released from the first stage. Therefore, independent missions can be conducted without affecting each other.
