Just out of curiosity, what would the letter rating of a Space Shuttle
Solid Rocket Booster motor be?

An "AE" would be close to the 1.4 x 10^9 NS of the SRB.

Back at NARAM-33, after NAR Trustee Jay Apt's first shuttle flight, we
calculated a single SRB as a wimpy AE class motor. Of course there are
two clustered together, plus the three SSMEs. Never did the
calculation of what class the whole stack fell into.
