Exhaust velocity
Exhaust velocity (Ve) 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 and 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.
