Description Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful rocket, represents SpaceX’s entry into the heavy lift launch vehicle category. With the ability to carry satellites or interplanetary spacecraft weighing over 53 metric tons (117,000 lb) to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Falcon Heavy can lift nearly twice the payload of the next closest vehicle, the US Space Shuttle, and more than twice the payload of the Delta IV Heavy.(Spacex)

I would love to know how they designed those engines to not fail due to combustion instability. Having nine bells that close together must be challenging.

The Engine config on the Falcon 9 v1.1 is different for more combustion stability.Β
