RedKraken Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Gonna have to get some hard numbers on those raptor specs. Expansion ratio would be really helpful. 380s and 200 tonnes thrust in vacuum ?? NSF folkes suggest the increase to 30MPa chamber pressure gives 2MN at sea-level.....interesting. I wonder if they stayed with expansion ratio 40.....those bells still look unchanged at 1.3m diameter.
