Not shown in this diagram are the flaps: the aft flaps are placed at the bottom (or left in this orientation), and the forward flaps are placed at the top (here, right) portion of the vehicle. The Block 2 version of Starship is 52.1 m (171 ft) tall, 9 m (30 ft) wide, [ 1 ] and is composed of four general sections: the engine bay, the oxygen ...
