A rocket engine is provided with a propellant valve controlling the output of a propellant tank. The valve is configured to induce a vortex in the propellant as it passes the propellant valve. Plural rocket engines may be supplied by a single valve, the valve inducing a vortex in the propellant which is then supplied to plural propellant lines configured to enhance the vortex induced by the valve.
