Woah what?!?! I assume just some would be used that can’t throttle and some that can (like the landing engines)? What’s the last liquid fueled engine that couldn’t throttle? That’s crazy! But if simple and effect, awesome.

All Raptors have slight throttle range by adjusting flow to ox & fuel turbines, but deep throttling imposes limitations on injector stiffness & needs extra hardware. Swear these are legit technical terms 🤗
