First complete BE-4 engines have been assembled
The first complete BE-4 engines have been assembled. http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/6/148...origin-rocket- engine-be-4-new-glenn http://www.geekwire.com/2017/jeff-be...rocket-engine/ This is not a small engine. Two of these will give the first stage of Vulcan more thrust than one Russian RD-180 gives Atlas V. Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.

Two of these will give the first stage of Vulcan more thrust than one Russian RD-180 gives Atlas V. Note that they've just gotten the first one built, but it's never been fired. They have a long way to go, particularly at the glacial speed that Blue Origin usually moves. It has around 2/3 the thrust of a SpaceX Raptor, which was test fired last year. -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." --George Bernard Shaw |
