Rockets

[Frank99]

Here are detailed virtual views of several historic rockets:

The V-2: a virtual view made over 6 months as authentic V-2 internals were rebuilt utilizing German plans.  The aeroshell, made of steel, was built, in its entirety, from scratch to the German plans.  It is believed this is the first complete assembly of an aeroshell (the familiar exterior we all associate with a V-2) since April of 1945.
