crash

I'm not sure but I think this may be the same device that crashed during testing in preparation for the Apollo 11 mission:

Design

"The output of the jets was directed towards the centre of gravity of the rig"

Shouldn't that be "away from"? Grassynoel (talk) 05:16, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's maybe not the best wording but I would take 'output' to be the thrust which acts in the opposite direction to the exhaust/efflux. More correct would be the that the thrust lines were directed towards the centre of gravity, I don't have access to the sources. Could be reworded for clarity.
