That's what the 3 SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engine) are capable of. The maximum equivalent horsepower of all three engines are rated at around 37 million horses! Taken at the National Air and Space Museum at Chantilly.

Hey Frank, Do you think if we bolted a Blower and some Nitrous on that we might be able to wring a bit more out of it??? :lol: :lol: ;) :cool:

With all that inertia, it would still be too slow out of the chute! Maybe Bonneville? ;-)a

Now THERE'S an idea! Might have to extend the length of the slow down lane a bit though. :lol:

That's alot of horsepower. If I'm not mistaken that thing burns 5 tons of propellant a second.

Also, those exhaust nozzles are fake along with everything around it it seems. Or is that whole shuttle on display fake?
