Template:Infobox rocket engine/doc

An infobox template for describing rocket engines.

Yes, there are other templates around for rockets. However they're all either vehicles {{Infobox Rocket}} or stages {{Infobox Rocket stage}}. I haven't yet found one for engines.

This template is very new, so likely to change imminently. If you wish to edit it, please use Template talk:Infobox rocket engine/doc first.
