Question Rocket-assisted takeoff
How do you say "rocket-assisted takeoff" in Spanish?

¿Despegue con ayuda de reactores?
¿Despegue asistido por cohetes?
¿Despegue ayudado por cohete?

Any shorter way to say it in Spanish?

Las últimas dos me parecen correctas, también lanzamiento, aunque despegue es la palabra justa.

How about despegue cohete propulsado. Does that sound too English?

Ah, Chileno, me gusta la opción de "lanzamiento" también.

Hey, Poli, no, I don't think it sounds too English. It sounds to me like a great solution (particularly in this specific case where my translation is for a subtitle, where I try to economize characters as much as I can!)

"Despegue cohete-propulsado" may do the trick. Thank you both for your input and inspiration!
