The Raptor engine is a full flow staged combustion cycle (F F S C C engine that runs on super chilled liquid oxygen and super chilled liquid methane (CH4), both of which will power SpaceX’s next-generation vehicle: Starship. The Raptor engine benefits from the highly advantageous F F S C C cycle, maximizing the impulse generated by a given amount of propellant — it is the third F F S C C engine to ever be developed and the first to leave the test stand. The first stage of Starship — called Super Heavy — wi
