FALCON HEAVY

Merlin engines use RP-1 and liquid oxygen as rocket propellants in a gas-generator power cycle

Power

This engine was designed for the falcon 1, the first rocket from Space X, the Falcon Heavy has de same engine

History

The merlin engine was orillinaly designed for recovery and reuse

Other Uses

Falcon Heavy is the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb) Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy. Falcon Heavy is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

With more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, Falcon Heavy is the most capable rocket flying. By comparison, the liftoff thrust of the Falcon Heavy equals approximately eighteen 747 aircraft at full power. Falcon Heavy can lift the equivalent of a fully loaded 737 jetliner , complete with passengers, luggage and fuel to orbit.

Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that. -Elon Musk

Falcon Heavy was designed to be able to carry humans into space beyond low Earth orbit, although as of February 2018, SpaceX has confirmed that they will not transport people on Falcon Heavy, nor pursue the human-rating certification process to transport NASA astronauts.
