Jan 6, 2017 at 14:56 comment added Alastair Haslam @OrganicMarble Ah yes, thought that figure was familiar. Do you think that the HG-3 may have sported the original combustion chamber dimensions of the SSME? I've read that it was developed from the HG-3, but I'm not sure how close that relationship was. Perhaps the larger RS-25 chamber was to assist in achieving thrust levels above 500,000 pounds, well beyond the power of its forerunner.
Jan 6, 2017 at 14:01 comment added Organic Marble The original SSME design area ratio was 77.5. It dropped when they went to the Large Throat Main Combustion Chamber (first flight 2001).
