The rocket is the russian R7 Semyorka which used RD-107 and RD-108 engines. In the anime the rocket was modified and they said to use hydrogen for the upper stage with an engine that looked like the US RL-10, which makes perfect sense as it's an engine that works best in the vacuum of space and the hydrogen fuel gives it excellent ISP. To summarise Gainax did their fucking research on this with the help of NASA. Anime back then was so fucking cool, at least Ghibli worked with descendants from the Italian plane designer Gianni Caproni, using plane designs later to be used on the film the Wind Rises. I wish we had more anime like this (albeit this almost bankrupted Gainax due to the lack of sales and how expensive the movie was) , these kinds of masterpieces are an inspiration to aspiring engineers or astronauts, unlike most of todays anime.

This is why I love 80's and early 90's era anime. Great in all regards, with very intricate attention to story and character development. This particular anime stands out even further though, due to how it portrays vietnam style combat, technology, tactics and spirit (due to the anxiousness and aggressiveness of the space launch and surrounding battle). And the scenes where both sides stop fighting to admire an accomplishment for their entire species. Breathtaking!

The space tech is straight out of the 1960`s with the rocket looking a lot like a Russian A7/Vostok.

It actually did not cost very much by modern standards. I have contracted production art for video games in the past, and the real problem is SPEED, not money. The quality of a production using traditional animation falls to the most common denominator of skill. Meaning it does not matter what your best artist can do; he would have to limit himself to what the least skilled artist working on the production piece can do. Unless you really expect your best artist to draw everything. Furthermore, in traditional animation, productivity scales linearly. One artist produces one artist's worth of work. You can re-use art, but there are many limitations on this. By contrast, one skilled digital artist can produce a CGI model or backdrop, and once that is done, it is trivially simple for more junior artists to manipulate it, re-use it in their own works, etc. Productivity now scales geometrically, since you don't need the same guy drawing the rocketship or cityscape in every panel to guarantee consistency. Nor do you need to recruit and entire team of skilled artists to imitate said guy's work. So for a big project like The Wings of Honnêamise, you either need a large and skilled group of artists or a ridiculously long production timeline. Because not everybody is playing by the same rules anymore, such luxuries do not exist. That is why more and more CGI is being added to anime.
