Massive Bell Aircraft XLR-67-BA-1 liquid propellant rocket engine from the late 1950s, mounted on a 56” x 40” wheeled sled, designed for the GAM-63 RASCAL, which was the first nuclear-tipped supersonic air-to-surface missile. The XLR-67-BA-1 rocket engine provided 10,440 pounds-force (46.4 kN) of thrust using three vertical in-line thrust chambers. All three thrust chambers of the XLR-67 were operated during the missile's boost phase which could last up to two minutes. At the conclusion of the boost phase the upper and lower chambers of the XLR-67 were shut down and thrust was sustained by the center chamber alone. This particular unit was featured in the music video for 'One Way Ticket to the Moon' by Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame).
