Detail of the cut-off A-7 thrust chamber.

Picture 1 of 2.

Fuel is discharged from the turbopump, flows through the fuel line, passes through the main fuel valve, and enters the fuel inlet manifold. From there, it passes between the two walls which comprise the thrust chamber, providing regenerative cooling for the inner thrust chamber wall as the fuel flows to the injector at the forward end of the engine.
