====== Exhaust velocity ======
Exhaust velocity (V<sub>e</sub>) of a rocket determines it's [[propellant economy]]. The higher the exhaust velocity less propellant will your rocket consume to provide same acceleration - it will however need much more power, both [[thermal power|thermal]] and [[electrical power|electric]] to maintain the [[codex:burn]].

The exhaust velocity usually measured in km/s.

Exhaust velocity is directly proportional to [[specific impulse]] and the terms are used interchangeably.
