An engine system that produces all required thrust for an aerospace vehicle from takeoff through space operation, consisting of airbreathing and non-airbreathing propulsion apparatuses. The airbreathing system consists of a turbine engine, a ram and or scram jet, and the non-airbreathing system is a unique liquid rocket motor. The turbine engine may consist of a turbojet or turbofan configuration. The air breathing turbine, ramjet and scram jet feature a single air inlet system, and combustion fuel. The non-airbreathing rocket system includes separate oxidizer system, and either a separate or same source of combustion fuel as the turbine. Airflow velocities in the turbine bypass duct, and burner system, include subsonic and supersonic velocities for ramjet or scramjet operation. The rocket engine may utilize either cryogenic or a non-cryogenic fuel and oxidizer system.
