The LR-87 was a twin-chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine developed to power the Titan I intercontinental ballistic missile. The engine developed a total thrust of 136,078 kilograms (300,000 pounds) at sea level. It burned liquid oxygen and a grade of aviation kerosene. The combustion chambers were gimbal mounted to allow them to swivel, controlling the missile trajectory during the powered phase of flight. The engine was developed by Aerojet General Corporation.
