RT Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (@teslaownersSV)Raptor 3: The Most Advanced Rocket Engine EverRaptor 3 is SpaceX’s latest evolution — the best rocket engine ever made.Key upgrades:• No external heat shield (full regenerative cooling)• Record thrust-to-weight ratio• Simplified design with fewer parts for faster production & higher reliabilityElon Musk:“Raptor 3 engine is a very advanced engine, by far the best rocket engine ever made.”It powers Starship V3/V4 toward 10,000+ tons thrust and rapid reusability — ...

SpaceX’s Raptor 3 engine is sublime engineering• No basic heat shield needed → saves mass and dramatically boosts reliability• Small fuel leaks aren’t dangerous — they simply burn off safely in the open plasma• Major improvements in payload capacity, efficiency, and overall reliability• Radically simplified design with deeply integrated electronics and fluid systems• So clean and minimalist that even propulsion experts initially thought it looked “unfinished” ...
