Air Elijah Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hi all, Thought this might be an interesting resource for people painting FAST packs, boosters, etc. It's a picture posted on GIZMODO showing the insides of the Space Shuttle engine nozzles. Good color and texture reference. There is a BIG version linked in the article here: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/04/a-rare-l...es/#more-391710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Excellent resource. Thanks for the link! I'm surprised by how flat it looks. I guess I shouldn't be though. The inside of a plain old car's exhaust pipe is flat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 It needs to be smooth---it's an aerodynamic curve inside----the shape is very carefully designed to manage the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
