The V-2 engine combustion chamber shown above contains 18 of the burner cups, and produces 57,000 lbs of thrust. (half a million horse-power)
The original V-2 engines were tested over 25 times with no wear on the engine, which demonstrates that this design can be used for multiple flights.
The test shown at left shows a single burner cup, tested in the summer of 2002, which produced 3,300 lbs of thrust.
