Wow! I assume the switch to Stainless Steel is a big factor in this?

What cost per engine will you achieve, given similar comparison to Merlin? How many Raptors could you make per year given similar resources as you currently use for Merlin?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 11 февр. 2019 г.
This will sound implausible, but I think there’s a path to build Starship / Super Heavy for less than Falcon 9

Is the SL engine's expected vac ISP relatively unchanged from IAC 2017?

Yes, aiming for 380 sec Isp with vac nozzle. Maybe 382 if we get lucky.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 11 февр. 2019 г.
But not an extendable nozzle though, as that just saves length. Nozzle diameter is limited by body diameter.

I know you said Raptor would eventually reach 300 bar, but will you stop there or go furthur? 300 is already impressive but is it capable of more?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 11 февр. 2019 г.
Much above 300 bar main chamber pressure means extreme oxygen preburner pressure of 700 to 800+ bar. Definitely pushing the limit of known physics.

Propellant was not deep cryo. CH4 & O2 were just barely below liquid temp at 1 bar. In theory, Raptor should do ~300 bar at deep cryo, provided everything holds together, which is far from certain. However, only 250 bar is needed for nominal operation of Starship/Super Heavy.

Are you considering an extendable nozzle for Raptor at any time?
Would love to see a nozzle that could extend during flight to provide extra ISP!

Wow :D Can you say how many tests have been performed thus far? I doubt it can speak much to the long-term longevity of Raptor, but I feel like 3-5+ static fires in the first 7 freaking days of integrated hot-fires is a damn good sign.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 11 февр. 2019 г.
I think 6 where we lit main chamber & several with only preburners

I know people who worked on РД 180. Its still an amazing engine though.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 11 февр. 2019 г.
Definitely! It’s amazing that the RD-170 & RD-180 engines held the record for so many decades. Excellent engineering.

Design requires at least 170 metric tons of force. Engine reached 172 mT & 257 bar chamber pressure with warm propellant, which means 10% to 20% more with deep cryo.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 11 февр. 2019 г.
Raptor reached 268.9 bar today, exceeding prior record held by the awesome Russian RD-180. Great work by @SpaceX engine/test team!

Just left Zeebrugge, now Tilburg, then Tesla HQ in Amsterdam & Oslo tonight to review service in Norway. Exciting to see thousands of Model 3’s on their way to owners in Europe!
