The present invention provides a projectile for use in a simulated fan-blade-off ballistic test. The projectile has an ellipsoid body having a blind axial bore extending from a first axial end. The blind axial bore is for housing a weight adjustment body which can be used to modify the weight and/or centre of gravity of the projectile. A sealing plug may seal the weight adjustment body within the axial bore and an insert may be provided to fix the position of the weight adjustment body and/or to control the sliding of the weight adjustment body within the axial bore.
