Elon Musk's SpaceX Just Announced NEW Raptor 3 Upgrade...Shocked The Whole Industry!
Unbelievable! Before our eyes is the Raptor 3—the latest and most powerful version in the world of modern rocket engines. Yes, you’re not mistaken, and it’s not a 3D rendering—it’s truly cleaner and neater than we can imagine.
So, what has SpaceX and Elon Musk just revealed about this technological marvel? Could there be a new Raptor 3. x variant?
When will we see this new Raptor in action, and on which Starship prototype will it be equipped?
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
Elon Musk's SpaceX Just Announced NEW Raptor 3 Upgrade...Shocked The Whole Industry!
Indeed, information about the Raptor 3 is not new to rocket enthusiasts like us. However, it's only now that we have our first look at the appearance of this engine.
On August 3rd, Elon Musk unexpectedly posted an image of a sleek, glossy black Raptor engine that was so clean that most of us suspected it to be a 3D render. With the tweet “Raptor 3, SN1” along with the number 1 printed on the engine, we can conclude that this is the first completed engine of the new generation. While the space community was buzzing with discussion, shortly after, SpaceX’s official page confirmed once again with images of the Raptor engines placed side by side, along with a summary of key specifications for each type, demonstrating the development of the Raptor through different versions.

Furthermore, the company, through precise figures, has affirmed that the research and testing of the new engine have yielded solid results, and once they publicly unveil this Raptor 3, they will begin mass production to quickly proceed with testing.
In the announcement for the launch of the new engine, Elon Musk also mentioned the significant improvements of the highly powerful Raptor 3.
Firstly, one of the main areas of improvement in the Raptor 3 is the reduction in induced mass. Elon Musk stated: “Important to note that the induced mass (mass required by a given engine design that is not the engine itself) of Raptor 3, while far better than Raptor 2, still has a lot of room for improvement.”

Pure Genius, Elon is a Genius and you will never catch up with SpaceX ‼️‼️‼️‼️
-
For the calculationally challenged, the reduction in induced mass from Raptor 2 to Raptor 3 is almost 85%! Gotta love a man whose motto is "The best part is no part." Hellova engineer, that Elon Musk!
-
Simple is strong, reduces weight, manufacturing time and cost, and failure rates. Nothing but good
-
Elon Musk is brilliant, and he still has the collaboration of highly capable people, so his mission is increasingly bold and capable. Congratulations, we could not be in better hands, mind and heart.👏👏👏🌟❤️🌹
-
It's amazing how much a bunch of engineers can achieve if led in the right style. We would need that in sooo many other areas! I wonder if Elon is really the only person on this planet who can create that working atmosphere. Hard to believe ...
-
This is marvelous update with proper comparisons to show improvement over time and vs BE-4 which I have been waiting for. Very complete, concise. Nicely done.

Elon the man ‘awesome .😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

Great coverage well timed, thank you!
-
Excellent stuff bro , hell yeah go Elon .
-
There are definite improvements in the mass of the engines. As long as the performance is the same or better, it should be a real improvement. Great video.
-
Nice video.
-
I am highly impressed! Go raptor!
-
This content sounds like it was generated by chatgpt, regurgitating in 15 mins what could be said in five. Very little technical information about how the engine was improved.
-
A little mistake. Raptor2 is 327s isp.
-
Good Morning. Another Good thing about the Raptor 3 is. The less parts the easier it is to de-bug and improve on it. With less parts. The less likely it is to fail. That is probably the most important aspect of the design. I wonder what the Raptor 3-Vac engine will be like. Go SpaceX. Have a Great Day my Friend.

Engines have no physical wire to see. So,Raptor V3 engines are connect to ship with Bluetooth 😂❤
-
✨️MASTERPIECE✨️
-
anyone that knows anything knows the reason for the new engine, just look at it and the difference between the others, elon is trying to refine the engine not by mass/weight but by more compact/less moving parts makes it easier to build and more reliable less prone to failure, due to moving part failure. he is getting there just wait till model number 4..

Just one word!! WOW!!
