The number of engines on a first stage rocket can vary significantly depending on the design and intended payload. For example, the SpaceX Falcon 9 has nine Merlin engines in its first stage, while the Saturn V rocket had five F-1 engines. Some smaller rockets may have just one or two engines. Ultimately, the configuration is tailored to the rocket's mission requirements and performance specifications.

How many stages in a rocket engine?
It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.
How many engines does the space shuttle have?
3 main liquid fuel engines, 2 solid-stage rocket boosters, and 25 compressed gas thrusters for maneuvering.

V-engines and 5. W engines
How many engines does a Boeing 747 have?
A Boeing 747 has four engines.
How many rocket engines did the Saturn V have?
The Saturn V rocket had five rocket engines in its first stage, called the F-1 engines. These engines were responsible for providing the necessary thrust to lift the rocket off the ground and into space.
How many engines does a two stage rocket have?
5 J-2 Engines
How many pounds of thrust does the first stage of the Apollo rocket have?
The first stage of the Apollo rocket had about 7.5 million pounds of thrust, generated by five F-1 engines. This massive amount of thrust was needed to launch the rocket and overcome Earth's gravity.
How many stages are there in an Apollo rocket?
An Apollo rocket had three main stages: the first stage contained the engines to lift the rocket off the launch pad, the second stage provided additional thrust to reach orbit, and the third stage was used to propel the spacecraft to its destination in space.
How many stages in a rocket engine?
It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.
What happens in the first stage of a multistage rocket?
It gives the initial boost to get the rocket off the ground, as the fuel burns up it empties the stage, so to get it into space the first stage ejected to lighten the load and the second stage ignites. and so on. This is an almost out dated system, but occasionally it is still used.
How many stages did the Apollo 11 rocket have?
The Apollo 11 rocket had three stages: the first stage with five F-1 engines, the second stage with five J-2 engines, and the third stage with one J-2 engine. These stages were designed to provide the necessary thrust to propel the spacecraft into Earth orbit and then on its trajectory to the Moon.
How many engines did a Saturn V rocket have?
There were eleven main engines on the Saturn V. Five on the first stage, five on the second stage and one on the third stage. This does not count the engine on the lunar lander. How do I know? I worked as an Aerospace Engineer on the first stage of the Saturn V during Apollo. My partner and I were the ONLY two women working on the Saturn V. Sara Howard, Author of "Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Moon" and "The Greatest Explosions in the Universe."
How many engines did Apollo 11 have?
Apollo 11 had a total of three main rocket engines in its Saturn V launch vehicle. The first stage, S-IC, was equipped with five F-1 engines. The second stage, S-II, had five J-2 engines, and the third stage, S-IVB, was powered by a single J-2 engine. Additionally, the Lunar Module had its own descent and ascent engines.
How many engines does the space shuttle have?
3 main liquid fuel engines, 2 solid-stage rocket boosters, and 25 compressed gas thrusters for maneuvering.
What happens to the third stage in a multistage rocket?
Because it's moving a smaller mass. The first stage of the rocket has to move the whole vehicle. By the time you're ready to fly on the third-stage engines, you've burned up the fuel in the first two stages and separated from them.
