The V-2 rocket, with the development name Aggregat-4, was the world's first practical, modern ballistic missile and suborbital launch vehicle. The missile, powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine
Regenerative cooling (rocketry)
…with engine cooling starting in 1933; however, most of his experimental engines were water-cooled or cooled by an extra circuit of propellant. The V-2 rocket engine, the most powerful of its time at 25 tons (245 kN) of thrust, was regeneratively cooled, in a design by Walter Thiel, by fuel pumped around the…
