How SpaceX Produces Raptor Engines So Fast
Musk’s Martian dream requires a fleet of Starships. Elon Musk needs to build a Starship a week to hit that goal, and each Starship contains several dozen engines. And he’s getting close to that goal. This is how SpaceX produces Raptor engines so fast.
Raptor engines can be made this fast because the design and the manufacturing process design are both being made as lean as possible. For example, the engine design has as few parts as possible, each one robust. This is a hallmark of all of Musk companies. Another example is the Tesla Gigapress. They have the largest die casting machine in the world making casting a single underbody piece. This eliminates 300 parts and dramatically speeds up assembly time. This idea is applied to every step of the rocket design, including the engines. Once they ramp up their efficient assembly line, the cost of each engine will drop.
The Raptors are arguably economical, because they are almost immediately reusable and designed to last twenty to thirty years.
