SpaceX Raptor 3 Engine Will Not Need A Heat Shield for High Thrust to Weight Ratio


A pile of needs have disappeared into the shell itself.  This is a big loss of weight and we are going for 10,000 tons of thrust.  That shouls allow ample space lifts

As well it all brings the potential cost for point to point on Earth down to around  $2.00 per pound.  That will displace long haul air cargo.

the speed of product development is breathtaking.

The SpaceX Raptor engines are becoming far more powerful and should reach over 330 tons of force while not needing a heat shield. Removing the need for a heat shield will lower the overall mass and increase the thrust to weight ratio.
