Here's the (hard to find) numbers on some aerospikes vs other engines. I would've LOVED to see the RS-2200 be developed. *ON PAPER* it would've been a GREAT engine. My deep dive on aerospikes will be done this week! See anything wrong @torybruno @elonmusk? Renders -

Max thrust version of Raptor should achieve true T/W > 170. Target is 1.5 ton engine with >260 t-F. Max Isp version should achieve ~380 sec, but T/W probably <120 due to big nozzle. These are just guesses for now.
