Thrust-Plate

 

The thrust plate was machined out of Aluminum. There are two primary functions to the thrust plate. For one, it serves to retain or fasten the motor to the rocket so that does fall out. Secondly, it distributes the force from the rocket motor to the entire rocket more evenly. Below is a picture of the thrust ring by itself as well as what it looks like in the rocket.
