Engine Block

A ring which is glued into the motor tube to contain the motor during thrust, preventing it from moving forward into the motor tube while allowing ejection charge to pass into the body of the rocket; typically a cardboard ring or section of a used motor casing; normally only used in LPR. Often unsed interchangeably with Thrust Ring. Without a engine block (or thrust ring), the friction fit technique would need to be used.
