Six Degrees of Freedom Rocket Engine Duct Test
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that many of today’s cutting-edge rocket engines use liquid natural gas (fuel) and liquid oxygen (oxidizer) to create thrust, which pushes the rocket forward and steers it when the angle of the engine is changed by gimballing. However, the challenge lies in safely transporting these cryogenic substances into the gimballing engine, demanding robust, flexible hoses or ducts that can endure extreme temperatures, pressures, and forces.
