In a recent hotfire our BE-3U engine reached more than 211,500 lbf thrust. That makes BE-3U the highest thrust-to-weight hydrogen engine in history, at more than 90! Here is the video of that test for your enjoyment.

I've become very fond of following Blue Origin's progress. Just one thing - please use metric. Metric tons force, please, not lbf. (And not those PIA Newtons, lol.) Even Americans use metric for space purposes - Americans who care enough to follow space news.

The BE-3U engine, developed by Blue Origin, recently achieved over 211,500 pounds of thrust, boasting a thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 90, the highest for any hydrogen engine historically. It uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen (LH2/LOX). In contrast, SpaceX's Raptor 3 targets 2,800 kN sea-level and 3,060 kN vacuum thrust, using methane and liquid oxygen (CH4/LOX). While BE-3U excels in vacuum performance for New Glenn's second stage, Raptor 3, designed for Starship's reusability, offers significantly higher thrust. Both engines prioritize high efficiency, but Raptor 3's design supports frequent reuse, aligning with SpaceX's mission goals.

What is an lbf? Is that some sort of Dark Age measurement system? No wonder Blue Origin are progressing so slowly. R

When will these engines with upgraded thrust enter into operation? IIRC the second stage for NG-3 was already tested, so NG-4? Or still refining it for a further generation?

That's a nice performance boost. Will the BE-4 see a similar performance boost?

It's 20% more thrust per engine than in the NG-2 flight. So basically that will add almost half of the engine to the GS2

For civilized people in the rest of the world who do not use body part-based measurements from a Stone Age system, it is 95.93 metric tons of thrust.

You keep pushing this beast to its limits, far beyond the original goals. By the way, has its specific impulse also increased significantly from 445s?

The engine was so powerful that the test ended up taking the Earth out of it's orbit by 1/16th of an inch.

It's beautiful that such a powerful amount of force can be clean and invisible

As a matter of interest how much electrical energy does it take to make enough H for the test and what is the energy efficiency of its whole route from and to water?

This is the most powerful commercial jet engine currently flying on an operational airliner. The GE90-115B was built by GE Aerospace specifically for the Boeing 777-300ER. It weighs around 8.3 tonnes, has a 3.25 metre wide fan and produces up to 512 kN (115,000 lbf) of thrust from a single engine. To understand the sheer scale of that output, it produces roughly 2.7 times the thrust of the F135 jet engine powering the F-35, the most powerful fighter engine currently in service. The enormous fan at the front uses just 22 carbon fibre composite blades with titanium leading edges. At maximum thrust, it pulls in roughly 1.4 tonnes of air every second, with nearly 90% bypassing the core rather than passing through the combustor. At around 150 knots during takeoff, its 512 kn of thrust corresponds to roughly 39.5 MW of propulsive power, or in automotive terms around 53,000 hp from one engine. And it burns roughly 4-5 kg of jet fuel every second at maximum power conditions. Two of these engines are enough to power a fully loaded 777-300ER weighing more than 350 tonnes. Even if one engine fails after the critical point during takeoff, the aircraft is certified to continue the takeoff and climb on the remaining one GE90 engine. Each engine costs around $35-40 million. More than 2,500, GE90s engines have been built, and the GE90 family has accumulated nearly 130 million flight hours. And this is precisely why companies like GE Aerospace remain so difficult to displace in jet engines. There is never one breakthrough. GE spent roughly $2+ billion developing the GE90, chasing small gains across hundreds of systems, efficiency, materials, reliability and component life.
