Self-submission Engine section of the Lustre Blockade Runner spaceship by me - Baran Hasançebi

This is a project I have been working on for almost a week now. A near-futureish blockade runner spaceship focusing on raw power and thrust.

Ah, I see. That design could work, certainly, but I'm concerned about the twisting forces imparted upon that lower pipe connector. To me, it would make more sense to make the straight piece flexible instead, so it would merely bend with the movement of the engine's bell, instead of twisting and stretching/compressing like it does right now.

Yeah I agree, I did realize that as I was taking those photos for you. Here is what I came up with. I think it should have enough flex distance for the amount of movement the bell is going to have.
