YF-1
Chinese liquid rocket engine
The YF-1 was a Chinese liquid rocket engine burning N2O4 and UDMH in a gas generator cycle. It is a basic engine which when mounted in a four engine module forms the YF-2. It was used as the basis for developing a high altitude version known as the YF-3.[2][9]
Some authors state that it was a direct copy of С.2.1100/С.2.1150 La-350 booster engine developed by Isayev OKB-2 (NII-88).[10] What is known is that the engine development had great trouble with combustion instabilities and it took a long time to have a reliable combustion.
