- pfdietz 3y agoThrust/weight ratio of a Merlin engine: 184 (sea level), 214 (vacuum) Thrust/weight ratio of a military jet engines: ~9 Thrust/weight ratio of a commercial turbofan: ~6 Merlin also has a much lower cost per unit thrust, 200x lower than a military jet engine, 400x lower than current commercial high bypass turbofan engines.
