Air Force and Space Force Tech Connect bridges student aerospace organization with AFRL mentorship

This image shows a 3-D rendering of Penn Jet Propulsion's original CAD model. Making a full model of the engine was one of the team's early priorities as a club to attract new members so they could build a team of engineers. This image shows a cross section view of the engine, showing the internal components like the combustor and stator. The group used this image to help teach new members, called cadets, about the internal workings and thermodynamics of the engine. (Courtesy photo)
