An engine system that produces all required thrust for an aerospace vehicle from takeoff through space operation utilizing a turbo ram rocket exhaust nozzle and M-Spike rocket consisting of airbreathing and non-airbreathing propulsion apparatuses. The airbreathing system consists of a turbine engine, a ramjet or scramjet, and the non-airbreathing system is a rocket motor. The turbine engine consists of a turbojet or turbofan configuration. The air breathing turbine, ramjet or scramjet feature an air inlet mechanism, and combustion fuel. The non-airbreathing rocket system includes separate oxidizer system, and either a separate or same source of combustion fuel as the turbine. Airflow velocities in the turbine bypass duct, and burner system, include subsonic and supersonic velocities for ramjet or scramjet operation. The rocket engine utilize either cryogenic or a non-cryogenic fuel and oxidizer system.
