F-1 Engine Injector Baffle

Another unusual exhibit at the USSRC is an F-1 engine injector radial baffle. Twelve radial baffles, along with two circular baffles, divided the injector into 13 compartments. The baffles served to dampen tangential and transverse combustion instability shock waves generated during combustion.
