Field notes
The F-1 exhibit combines controls for solid and exploded views, exhaust, and labels with separate overview, flow, parts, and image sections. Its cycle explanation follows the gas generator, turbine, and pumps before describing combustion in the main chamber. The site credits NASA photographs and links to further reading; it also notes that the reconstructions are artist models, with approximate locations and no common physical scale.
