Cut-Away H-1 Engine |
|
The Cosmosphere displays the only cut-away H-1 rocket engine of which I'm aware, an H-1D or outboard engine. In addition to the regenerative cooling tubes being cut open for inspection, the turbine exhaust hood and portions of the heat exchanger have been removed, allowing the visitor to see the turbine wheel and heat exchanger coils. The engine, unfortunately, is in a relatively dark hallway with spot lighting, which makes it notoriously difficult to take an evenly-exposed photo. I have a number of H-1-related resources. |
