[3] [4] Each Space Shuttle SRB provided a maximum 14.7 MN (3,300,000 lbf) thrust, [5] roughly double the most powerful single-combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine ever flown, the Rocketdyne F-1. With a combined mass of about 1,180 t (1,160 long tons; 1,300 short tons), they comprised over half the mass of the Shuttle stack at liftoff.
