Saturn V F1 Engine
A total of 96 F1s were made, 65 were launched. Many of the rest in scattered in various museums or remain attached to unflown Saturn V rockets currently on display.
The engine stands 19 feet high and 12 feet wide. The five burned 15 tons of kerosene and liquid oxygen every second.
A more powerful derivative, the F-1B, would have produced 1.8 million if thrust, 20% more than the original, and was proposed as a follow-on to post-shuttle era. But was deemed too costly to produce.
In 2012 a Jeff Bezos sponsored search recovered one of the engines from the Apollo 11 booster, about 400 miles east of the launch center, and submerged nearly 3 miles deep. This is one of the very few Saturn V pieces ever recovered (photo: Bezos Expeditions)
