Space Shuttle reference for FAST Packs

[Air Elijah]

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

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.

It needs to be smooth---it's an aerodynamic curve inside----the shape is very carefully designed to manage the pressure.
