not the ones in development now, but in the future if things progress - absolutely yes
Liquid rocket engines would act much like a car engine. More fuel, more thrust. Solid rocket engines are either on or off. No throttle control.
Enough to lift a small rocket 5-600 feet.
10,0000,00000009
thrust
Varies depending on the rocket. The tallest, heaviest and most powerful rocket ever manufactured, the Saturn V, produces 7.5 million pounds of thrust.
The amount of exposed surface area of the fuel
The amount of thrust depends on the power of the engine
The thrust of a solid rocket engine depends on 3 different values. The first is the rate at which the solid fuel is burned, the second is the composition of the fuel itself, and the third is the way the gas that is coming from the engine is directed by the exhaust nozzles. Therefore as one can see, the exact same material can be burned at very different rates, depending on how much thrust it is producing. So the designer only has to control and slightly change the exhaust nozzles to change the amount of thrust produced by the engine.
rocket what? an engine?, need to know the year and engine size.
about 7.2 million pounds of thrust (Solid Rocket Boosters and Main Engines combined)
7.5 million pounds or 160,000,000 horse power.
Any amount of thrust greater than the total weight of the complete vehicle is enough to do the job, if the thrust lasts long enough and points in the right direction.
