American Spacex completed the construction of the Mobile RapTor Rocket Engine, reports Space company in Twitter.
“Production of the Raptor Motor Motor Completed,” – said in Tweet.
In February 2019, the head of Spacex Ilon Mask showed the results of testing the Raptor engine, stating that in terms of pressure in the combustion chamber, this power unit surpassed the Russian RD-180 Rocket Engine. In this, the chief designer of the Scientific and Production Association (NGO) “Energomash” Peter Levochkin noted that for methane engines to which Raptor belongs, “this level of pressure in the combustion chamber is not something outstanding.”
In March 2018, Mask stated that Raptor would get the largest traction (the ratio of the driving engine for its weight) among all engines ever operated in the world.
Raptor Reusable Motors should get the Spacex Mince Indian Transport System StarShip.
Currently, Russia does not have active missile engines operating on methane.
