Feb 21, 2023 · A more accurate comparison would be a Boeing 737 MAX (New Glenn) and a Airbus A380 (Starship). One took forever to make it to market and had significant hardware issues but was targeting a known profitable segment of the market and now has thousands of orders when the hardware issues were fixed.

Jan 26, 2019 · 100 metric tonnes on Starship mk-1 vs 45 metric tonnes on new glenn. While new glenn will surpass falcon heavy in terms of both payload capacity and payload volume. It still won't live up to Starship. Hell it's not even fully reusable, the hydrolox upper stage on NG is thrown out after every flight.

Aug 24, 2021 · If you compare the New Glenn to the Vulcan 2C, you can see that New Glenn gets considerably more mass to LEO, but falls off pretty fast as C3 increases. This may be because the BE-3U is less efficient than the RL-10, that the New Glenn upper stage stages much earlier than Vulcan's, which is less efficient for high energy payloads, or that the ...

Feb 21, 2019 · EDIT: after looking at some diagrams, I estimate the Starship fins at 30 square meters, vs 70 on the Hindenburg. And the Seawise Giant's rudder is somewhere in the region of 120 square meters, probably the largest single 'control surface' in existence.

Jan 8, 2022 · At this point its Starship, New Glenn, and Neutron that we’ll see (Electron is already proven. So Neutron has to happen) It doesn’t make sense (from my eyes) to go from New Shepard to New Glenn before going orbital with a smaller …

New Glenn would do well for refuelling but in terms of pure effectiveness, a direct high energy optimised expendable new Glenn launch is almost the holy grail of COLS block 1 imo, besides starship but spacex definitively isn’t acquiring bc their stupid opposite culture of hating high energy optimization and expendability

Except Starship makes it infinitely easier to spread those contracts around. Vulcan, Delta, Atlas, and SLS are all highly specialized launch vehicles built at relatively low production numbers on a "made to order" model. Starship is already a mass produced rocket by comparison in the prototyping stage, and plans are to only scale that up.

Jan 10, 2024 · New Glenn is likely going to be the third ever reusable orbital launcher behind the Shuttle and Falcon, maybe 4th depending on Starship. But regardless, rockets like New Glenn are the future, while SLS is just an artifact of an era of corrupt politics and oldspace capture of NASA.

Thus, those numbers for flacon 9 and Starship are much more plausible that the numbers in the OP chart. As for New Glen, Payload 45,000 kg, 7 x BE-4 Engines. 'The cost of Blue Origin's BE-4 engine, which is being developed for the company's New Glenn rocket, is estimated to be in the range of $10-20 million'.
