Standing 23.4 m (77 ft) tall and with a diameter of 7 m (23 ft), the second stage will sit atop the New Glenn launch vehicle. Each engine can generate 173,00 lb of vacuum thrust, though they were ...

Vulcan rockets use only two, while New Glenn’s seven engines will give it more than 3.8 million pounds of thrust on liftoff.
