k Nozzle, Rocket. Solid Fuel, R.H. Goddard, 1918. Creator Robert Goddard. This is a nozzle from a 1inch solid fuel rocket which U.S. rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard made during 19171918 for the U.S. Army as a weapon during World War I. The spiral grooves on the nozzle caused the rocket to rotate during its flight thereby helping to counteract deviations in its flight path and making it more stable in its flight. A trial was later undertaken at the Armys Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Maryland, on 6 November 1918. However, the following day the armistice was signed that ended the war as well as the Armys interest in this project. In 1921 Goddard switched to liquid propellants. This nozzle was donated to the Smithsonian by the Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics in 1985. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
