EnginePropellanttype

What one engine burns: its name as the variants' data spells it, the propellant as its page words it (a figure with its source), and the kind of flame that picks the colour.

Import it

import type { EnginePropellant } from "@johnmorrisdotca/uchusen-rockets";

    id: string;
    name: string;
