Breaking news! The North West Chapter of the Lemurian Flying Rocket Association will be bringing their own curious brand of rockets, propelled by high-pressure dihydrogen monoxide.

EXPLANATION:
A engines are small, D engines are large. Low numbers mean low flights, high numbers mean high flights.

Detailed explanation: Rocket engines are classified by their impulse, their average Newtons of thrust, and the number of seconds between the end of the engine firing and the firing of the ejection charge (when the nose cone pops off). A C6-7 engine will have an impulse between 5.01 and 10.00, 6 Newtons of thrust, and 7 seconds between when the engine stops firing and when the nose cone pops off.

A 1.26-2.50 N/s
B 2.51-5.00 N/s
C 5.01-10.00 N/s
D 10.01-20.00 N/s
