It’s Mind-blowing! Musk’s SpaceX Just Announced NEW Raptor 3 Design Upgrade…
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:

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.”
