Saturn V Spacecraft - main thruster engines. This spacecraft utilizes (5) F-1 Rocketdyne engines. Each engine uses about 414 gallons of liquid oxygen per second at full burn. At first stage burnout, each engine is producing 1,746,000 lbf of thrust. The spacecraft is moving at about 6,000 miles per hour or about 1.67 miles per second. The following math is debatable - I have found several versions of produced horsepower just prior to burnout. The range is from a total of 27,936,000 horsepower to 160,000,000 horsepower. Just a little more than a new Dodge HellCat (770 hp). [Technical data from QUORA on the net.]
