Dr. Wernher von Braun stands beside the Saturn V dynamic test vehicle’s five F-1 engines, now displayed at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Each engine is about 19 feet (5.8 m) tall, with a nozzle exit roughly 12.5 feet (3.8 m) across. Together, the cluster consumed on the order of 15 tons of liquid oxygen and RP-1 kerosene per second and generated about 7.5 million pounds of liftoff thrust. #jet #aviation #Rockets #ww2 | Jets 'n' Props
