Oh, and I've had a thought... If it's possible to build a working scale V-1 of paper (as is being demonstrated here) wouldn't it be possible to build a working scale V-2 of paper as well? Just a thought.  |
Hi Lancer,
Yes, and no. Where can I get a small enough liquid rocket engine that uses hydrogen peroxide to power the turbine pump?
Sure NAR High Power has some liquid fuel engines, but 1500lbs of thrust might cause HI Max-Q issues.
It would be a Koooool project....
For now Stomp Rockets and eventually
Estes power for some.
Will be doing the V2 as a Stomp Rocket sometime this month.
Besides this project, working ona Stomp version of Dr. Goddards 1st Liquid Fueled rocket, his L13 Series, and the Rocket Planes that were in the bidding competition against the winning X-15.
Best regards,
Mike Bauer
