Raptor 2 is the second major iteration of the Raptor Engine, which is currently used on all Operational Ships (with engines currently installed) and all Operational Super Heavy Boosters. Raptor 2 replaced Raptor 1 and will eventually be replaced by Raptor 3, and it will likely get replaced before 2026.
