SpaceX Revealed Starship Raptor 4 Totally Humiliated Blue Origin’s Upgraded BE-4...
Why is Starship the most powerful rocket ever built?
Many point to its massive design, but an equally critical factor receives far less attention: the relentless evolution of the Raptor engine.
Raptor 3 is expected to debut within weeks, yet SpaceX and Elon Musk are already signaling the next leap with Raptor 4. This future iteration is projected to introduce sweeping upgrades that push engine performance to new extremes and redefine benchmarks for power.
If those gains are realized, Raptor 4 could surpass every competing engine, including Blue Origin’s BE-4.
So how will this next generation achieve such an advantage? Let us find out in today’s episode of Great SpaceX.

We have now spent more than two years watching the Starship program evolve alongside the powerful Raptor 2 engine. Its raw strength has been impossible to ignore. Just look at the massive crater carved into the ground during Starship Flight 1, or observe the violent plume and shockwaves from any subsequent test. In those moments, the extraordinary power of Raptor is not an abstract concept. It is something you can feel, even from a distance.
Yet SpaceX has never been content to stop at what already works. The company is now preparing to move beyond Raptor 2 toward an even more ambitious future. As early as 2026, we are expected to see the arrival of Raptor 3. This next iteration is not only designed to be more powerful, but also dramatically simpler. That combination alone signals a major shift in how SpaceX approaches engine development.

So the natural question follows. What comes next?
Anyone familiar with SpaceX understands that limits are not part of its philosophy. The company has repeatedly shown that each milestone is treated not as an endpoint, but as a stepping stone. With that mindset in place, SpaceX has already hinted at something even more extreme. An engine that pushes beyond Raptor 3 in both performance and ambition.
This is where Raptor 4 enters the conversation.
The existence of such a version has been suggested directly by Elon Musk himself, the Chief Executive Officer of SpaceX. During an interview at Starbase with Everyday Astronaut, Musk discussed the future of the Raptor engine family and made a striking statement. He noted that a future Raptor could reach 330 tons of thrust. While he did not explicitly label this engine as Raptor 4, the numbers tell a clear story.
