How many rockets can a single silo send per second or per minute?

[Liwet]

I'm mainly curious about how long the launch sequence takes so I can figure out what the maximum amount of resources I need to provide a single silo.

Default is 1 rocket part every 3 seconds for a total of 150 sec per rocket without modules and prod research

I don't recall the number, but it is now slightly more than it was. FFF 405 covers the new, slightly shorter, timing but does not give the numbers. The Wiki has not been updated to match that either. It seems, roughly, that about 12 sec have been saved, if you make rockets fast enough to have one ready after each launch. Total now looks to be just a shade over 2/min. Assuming the crafting speed is good enough to support that, of course. The crafting speed will be different in the base game and Space Age since the latter requires fewer inputs to make a rocket part, and therefore a rocket.

I'm not asking about the crafting of rocket parts but the amount of time it takes for the launch cinematic to finish since I assume a second rocket can't be launched until the 1st completes its animation. If I know how long the launch sequence takes plus how long it takes to produce a rocket part, I can figure out the maximum amount of resources I need to provide to any single rocket silo.

It takes 28 secs that "Deliver Cargo" button become available again after previous launch
So it is 2/min.

The catch is that to get that short 28 sec pause you have to have a rocket already built and ready to launch. If not then the animation for closing, and then opening the launch tube door will happen and that takes another ~12 sec. Crafting too fast is, in this case, better than almost fast enough. By nearly 50%!

So just to be clear, to maximize the output of a single silo, I need to supply 2 rocket's worth of parts within 1 minute?

Probably a bit less than a minute. Something like every 56 sec. or so. Don't know for sure until someone daring times the animation sequences again without the door open/close cycle.
In addition to the parts, the silo also needs to be running fast enough, speed modules, quality boosts, etc., to build rockets at that speed, or better.
