An engine when running will vibrate. If directly fixed to the supporting structure then this vibration would transmit through the vehicle or structure body. These vibrations lead to noise and mechanical damage in adjoining structures. The engine mount is typically a rubber to metal bonded component which is used to 'mount' the engine onto the structure. The rubber element is used to absorb or 'dampen' the vibrations, reducing noise and increasing the service life of the surrounding structures and components. Try searching for 'anti vibration mountings'. Some companies which manufacture engine mounts are: - AV Industrial Products Ltd

What is the difference between a long rocket fin and a short rocket fin?
A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.
What is the definition for main engine cut off?
Main engine cut off or MECO is when a space shuttle reaches the orbit and the external tank is jettisoned and the all 3 SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engines) are turned off
How can a rocket fly when there is no oxygen in space?
The oxygen is brought with the spacecraft.
Where is the engine size marked on the engine?
normal on the front face of the engine or the right hand side of the engine
What is the engine of an old train?
The engine of an old train would be a steam engine.
What makes rocket engine mount fit rocket tube?
You wrap tape or a cardboard ring around the engine mount until it fits tightly in the fuselage tube.
In a rocket what is an engine mount?
In a model rocket that uses engines, there is an engine mount. The engine mount is located inside the body tube in the bottom where the engine goes. It usually consists of a small tube, two rings that connect it to the body tube, and a metal bar to hold the engine in the tube. Its job is to house the engine and hold it in place for a flight. glad to help, Uujjee
What are the components of a rocket engine?
A rocket engine is made up of many unique different parts. The components of one include a nozzle, engine casing, delay charge, propellant, engine mount, and ejection charge.
How do you built a rocket?
You use a Launch Lug, Parachute, Removable Solid Rocket Engine, Parachute Lines, Fins, Body Tubes, Nose Cone Payload (removable), Engine Mount (fixed), Shock cord, and Recovery Wadding.
During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?
thrust of the rocket engine
What is the most advanced rocket engine?

What is the definition on fin on a rocket?
The definition of fin on a rocket would be, a thin, protruding piece of metal whose function is to provide aerodynamic stabilization when the rocket is in flight.
What is the definition of fin on a rocket?
The definition of fin on a rocket would be, a thin, protruding piece of metal whose function is to provide aerodynamic stabilization when the rocket is in flight.
What is crygenic engine?
A liquid-fuel rocket or a liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form.
Working principal of rocket?
Rocket engines obtain their thrust in accordance with Isaac Newton's third law, making the rocket a reaction engine. A rocket engine is simply a jet engine.
What is rocket cryogenic engines?
Rocket engine
What is the definition of a rocket body tube?
A rocket body tube is the center of a rocket; also the piece that holds the rocket together.
