NEXUS 1220000rpm 16,3 kg/trust and 550ml/min
I knew the Nexus was running at higher rpm, but over a million rpm.....?
Somebody have mixed up their ml to oz conversion. Somebody who know how to convert ml - oz??
SimJet state: 550ml/18,59 oz @ 122k, 16,3 kg (36,0lbs)
Merlin state: 555ml/18,30 oz @ 116k, 159,3N (35,5lbs)
Merlin@118k: 594ml/19,60 oz @ 118k, 171,5N (38,2lbs)
Merlin@120k: 622ml/20,50 oz @ 120k, 180,8N (40,3lbs)
Merlins has over 2 lbs more thrust @ 4k less rpm....
Merlins are delivered pushing 171,5N @ 118k. Would not surprise me if they will be delivered as 180N (40lbs) @120k in the future....
