That type of engine is highly experimental, this is still quite a few years out from being deployed. The reliablity of the combustion process is just to unreliable to be used for anything and the scale of engines we have at the moment. It just cannot compete without a breakthrough. Although I think the world has picked up some development on the rotating detonation engine in the recent years.
Agreed. But if you want some juicy engine info, See Tim Dodds long interview and tour or the raptor integration area at starbase. Elon unloads a whole bunch of detail there. And Tim asks the right questions
I really wish SpaceX did, but its a great marketing for Relatively. Back in the day when SpaceX got started it wasen't as beneficial as noone belived. I mean you've heard the stories. SpaceX today can benefit slightly from informal videos, but huge impact on their economics as people get much more resources to reverse engineer their designs. So keeeping their current course is more beneficial until they catch up, then they might start to open up some more to balence things out
It’s a shame to see all this effort and resources, and talent spent trying to catch up to what spacex has already accomplished. Instead of competing against spacex, or trying to replicate what they do, start building a space station/fuel depot in space. That’s where the market is wide open. True, resource retrieval will be needed from planets, but space based platforms to operate from will be required long before that.
Always great to see more behind the scenes!
Please keep it up! 😄
The technical nature of this video is much appreciated, thanks for sharing as much detail as you have.
Super clear and concise explanation. Awesome work!
Looks tight and clean.
Keep up the great work and keep up the great videos.
So cool!!! Are you ever going to use rotating detonation?

Yes it will be used someday.
Great video guys!
1:52 where can I get (dichroic) glasses like these?
Its crazy to see the HP numbers of just the fuel pumps in these engines, 10000+ hp just to get fuel into the combustion chamber fast enough
Exciting times.
Go Relativity Space! Go Terran R! 🚀🚀🚀
Please more!
Love this. Thank you!
The manufacturing engineer seems cool as fuck
In no small part due to the glasses...
A really good video!
I’m really looking forward to…
❤
nice video
Would it be possible to have a small group of high school students who are learning 3-d printing to get a tour? That would be awesome!
Space X has basically zero technical videos so this is an excellent way to gain mind share!!

Lol there is way back 2010 and 2012

👏 آفرین.

Ya but Lunars....
I don't mean to be mean, but that high pitched sound musical piece? It's painful.
