Will the real Titan II 1st stage stand up
In the past I have heard newsgroup posts about the Titan II first stage,
that it had a gross mass of 269,000 lbs and an empty mass of 9000 lbs, which would give it a mass ratio of over 29! See a posting by Mitchell Burnside Clapp at: http://webhome.idirect.com/~earlcp/messages/M1168.HTML halfway down the page. But when I look at Encyclopedia Astronautica at http://www.friends-partners.ru/partn...lvs/titan2.htm I see the gross mass at 117,866 kg (260,000 lbs) and an empty mass of 6,736 kg (14850 lbs), giving a mass ratio of 17.5 So, which is the right value? Thanks, -- Larry |
