The components belong to a test engine that already has the structure of the original one.
The various components shown are made of hardened steel AISI 420 C.

Among them, there is the currently used nozzle, which is simply convergent, and with which we are going to be studying the conditions in the room.

After a short time, four engine tests are going to take place.
In particular, the engine will be tested with two sets of grub screws and two of nozzles; both grub screws have a 10mm and 24mm diameter central cylindrical hole, and nozzles have a throat area of 130mm² and 110mm².
