F-1 engine and the federal law Q&A
«

I'm a newbie here, and I've read all the rules regarding to the threads. If I committed an error, please do not hesitate to correct me

Lately, I began to make lots of researches about rocket engineering. Then I got interested in Rocketdyne's F-1 engine from the Apollo program. Here's the question, this may sound may a bit stupid, is there any way I could get an access to the F-1 full schematic somewhere? I mean like well detailed, or is it possible to gain access to F-1B engine CAD from Dynetics as a sixth form student (UK citizen) for educational purpose..? In terms of security. how does the Federal Law states about old Rocket technologies like the one from Apollo program?

Hi DSA. I doubt that there would be any national security issues around the F-1 engine.
Have you thought of contacting RocketDyne (the manufacturer) directly? There's a good chance they'll be willing to help you. Barring that, a google image search for "Apollo F-1 schematic" turned up a few interesting sites that might be helpful to you, depending on how much detail you need - you may have trouble finding dimensioned drawings online.
I found
heroicrelics.org
has sections on the F-1 thrust chamber, injectors, turbopump etc, including links to
very
detailed PDF technical documents. It's an interesting site though I'm not a fan of the layout.
No doubt some of the older hands here will have better suggestions than me - I am a newbie too. Good luck with your project
Afterthought: May I ask what kind of project you're working on?

Heroic relics is a cool as a moose site. Some of the drawings are a bit grainy, but there are also some hi rez drawings. If your garage is big enough, you could build one, I'm sure. But there's so much more than drawings needed.
