Why is New Glenn so much bigger than Falcon Heavy but has less …
WEBAug 24, 2021 · New Glenn is 96m tall total, 7m tank diameter with LEO payload capacity of 45k kg and GTO payload capacity of 13k kg. Falcon Heavy is 70m tall, 3.66m diameter for each booster, with LEO payload capacity of 63.8k kg and GTO payload capacity of 26.7k kg. I just realized why as i typed this out - FH has 2 boosters, more fuel, more capacity, etc.
The Falcon Heavy VS New Glenn Debate: Media horse racing, or
WEBMay 23, 2017 · New Glenn doesn't have an official payload capacity at this time, but calculated estimates of around 45 metric tons for the two-stage variant would place it right on the cusp of being a super-heavy launch vehicle. The SLS block 1A is going to be a super heavy lift vehicle capable of putting 70 metric tons into LEO.
Blue Origin's New Glenn booster is larger than Falcon Heavy
WEBSep 12, 2016 · The 2-stage New Glenn is 270 feet tall, and its second stage is powered by a single vacuum-optimized BE-4 engine. The 3-stage New Glenn is 313 feet tall. A single vacuum-optimized BE-3 engine, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, powers its third stage. The booster and the second stage are identical in both variants.
Starship Vs New Glenn (Size Comparison) : r/SpaceXLounge - Reddit
WEBJan 26, 2019 · 100 metric tonnes on Starship mk-1 vs 45 metric tonnes on new glenn. While new glenn will surpass falcon heavy in terms of both payload capacity and payload volume. It still won't live up to Starship. Hell it's not even fully reusable, the hydrolox upper stage on NG is thrown out after every flight. Reply reply.
New Glenn vs Starship size comparison : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
WEBFeb 21, 2023 · Good spot. 7m v 9m, or 1.65 times greater cross sectional area for Starship. Also note that the second stage sizes are misleading because of the much lower density of the hydrogen fuel. Starship is a much larger vehicle than this comparison implies with around 4.5x thrust on the first stage. Reply reply More replies.
New Glenn payload mass to LEO is 18% - 38% greater than Falcon …
WEBMar 9, 2017 · I've seen a lot of people putting New Glenn between Delta IV Heavy and Falcon Heavy in terms of payload mass capability. This was my initial thought, but it turns out that the Falcon Heavy 54,400 kg lift capacity is for expendable launches.
New Glenn vs Vulcan : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
WEBOct 5, 2018 · Vulcan is also said to start at under $100 million per launch which is probably quite a bit cheaper than New Glenn. I am curious if this will be the case. Falcon Heavy is priced at $90M and New Glenn is, I believe competing against both it and Falcon 9. I'd be kinda surprised if NG was spendier than Vulcan, frankly. Will be interesting to see.

WEBFeb 16, 2023 · That the boosters do not interfere with the four control wing surfaces. It is not apparent how these boosters would be able to fly back to be retrieved. I must admit, I too had through about this, but what I think Blue Origin would do: 3. Up-rate the BE-4 to the Rocketdyne F-1 class of thrust [ 2.4 MN, vs 7.77 MN].
