Made a nozzle for Bill Schworer. He has used the Aerotech phenolic nozzle before in his 98mm 2 grain warp-9 end burner. The long burn was eroding the throat too quickly and throwing off his Kn. He had me modify the Aerotech nozzle to accept a graphite insert so the erosion of the throat shouldn’t be a problem next time.

Sent this out today to Patrick Carroll for his 98mm Aerotech hybrid revival project. Looks like a fun project, I’ll definitely be following his progress on this. Here is the website.
