European researchers have unveiled a new rocket concept called RLV C5, designed to meet the continent's heavy-lift launch requirements. The vehicle is partially reusable and runs on liquid hydrogen and oxygen, offering greater fuel efficiency. A notable feature of the design is its booster, which would glide back to Earth and be captured mid-air by an aircraft. The concept is aimed at reducing both development complexity and overall costs for European space missions. It represents Europe's push to build competitive reusable launch capabilities in the era of SpaceX's Starship.
