The Integrated powerhead demonstrator is a U.S. Air Force project run by NASA and the AFRL to develop a full flow Staged combustion cycle rocket engine. The prime contractors are Rocketdyne and Aerojet.

The main design goal is to apply the advantages of FFSCC to create a reusable engine with improved life, reliability and performance. The turbines will also feature hydrostatic bearings instead of the traditional ball bearings.
