LΛUNCHER(@launcher):🚨 New max thrust record for E-2! 🚨 Last week, we boosted E-2 thrust by 23% to 27,000 lbf for multiple one-minute duration test fires. We’re pushing the limits to better understand the operating envelope in which E-2 can perform reliably. In parallel, our team is rolling out an upgraded design that is lighter, simpler, and incorporates thrust vector control.
