Questions about RS-25

[QMSP]

Title says it all, I have some questions about the SSME that I need to be answered
First off, what is the length of the engine bell? Not including all of that piping and stuff at the top

 

[Vinny]

I was going to make the same engine...

 

[QMSP]

Well I can't find any diagrams with scaling so I need help

Working on it

If you get the dimension for one thing on the engine, you can resize the photo for the measurements.

Can someone tell me how long the engine bell is?

ChatGPT is actually quite useful for these sort of things

Just find a diagram with one of the measurements and scale the engine up from there. Maths.

I'm not joking, searches the internet for you.

The entire reason that I asked was because I couldn't find diagram

Alr let me find one for you.

Ok, thank you so much!

Thank you for saying that for me.

Why is everyone so against ChatGPT?!

I dragged the diagram into the unity toolkit thingy, now how do I make the scale accurate?

I think anything you get out of it will just be LLM slop, plus it can't put anywhere near the amount of effort into finding high quality and interesting information as a person who knows where to look can.

Other than that maybe I just like being a hater. BOT now,

You make a mesh with the proper dimensions then adjust the X and Y variables at the top to make it 1:1.

I asked it for space shuttle dimensions and they were accurate

Now ask it for the throat diameter and expansion ratio of the AJ10-190 OMS engines and it'll probably choke on air.

I'd like to see the result

Related question: how tall is the external tank of the shuttle without the cones on the top or bottom?

Tough question to answer. Just import an image of the ET, scale it, then build the mesh over top of it for scale, that's what I do.
Attached is a decent reference with scale, you might have to do some math to figure out the actual dimensions. Here too, I actually have some of those as posters on my wall.

Edit: Attached another good RS-25 reference as well.
Edit edit: Fuck it just take the link to the website
