View of the engine base closeout.

Picture 1 of 5.

This photo was taken from the north looking south.

It was intended for two XRS-2200s to be mounted side-by-side on the X-33. Since this end of the base closeout is open, I assume that the other XRS-2200 would have mounted here, and the turbine exhaust from the two engines would have commingled.
