Actually, the Merlin is a second stage vacuum engine. A Raptor on the other hand...

@judet2992 IKR??? It's the definition of mental! They already had it on a dyno once running nat aspiration, putting out several grand as it was. They're currently in the process of fabricating new intake and exhaust manifolds for it which provides it's own logistical challenges. Three banks of four rotors each stacked in a V configuration and I can't help but wonder what they're gonna do with it....

@judet2992 The one thing he didn't mention is the rotary style motor, and there's this one channel building one with 12 rotors! Once turbo charged, it has the potential to put out 5000 BHP from a motor that's roughly the size of big block V8.

@44R0Ndin That's right; I do remember them switching to Methane from RP1 awhile ago. Also, that makes sense. Also also, no worries, I'm watching Felix on WAI as we speak!!!
