This paper discusses rational edged tetrahedra, in 3, 4 and n dimensions, with rational volume. The main results are (i) a proof of the existence of infinitely many tetrahedra with rational edge-lengths, face-areas and volume and (ii) a proof that there exist dimensions for which all regular hypertetrahedra with rational edge-lengths have rational hypervolume.
