Part 3/8:
While the Raptor 3 engine has yet to be officially confirmed for use in the V2 Super Heavy booster, it is anticipated that Starship V3 will require an engine that delivers higher performance. Elon Musk has hinted at a future thrust level exceeding 330 tons, a significant increase from the announced 280 tons for Raptor 3. Such ambitious performance targets indicate that a new generation of engines, possibly Raptor 4, may be necessary to meet these requirements.
