Teakell’s Table; space craft (Flying rocket details)…
Mentioned briefly before, in this Thread (Teakell’s Table; space craft (Continued)…
) several of Joe’s builds are capable of actually flying! One of his space shuttles (Atlantis again!) was constructed so that the engines are not applied when he wants to use a bladder to push air through a tube, blasting the paper model off in a flight of a few feet (see pic 1). Note in this picture, Atlantis sits ready to launch, but another rocket, possibly a mercury, sits at the ready to be placed upon the bladder tube.
Joe set up a second rocket, at ready, on the bladder launch tube, to fly it off with the depression of the green air bladder (see pic 2). This makes his detailed builds educational, as the aerodynamic qualities may be considered.
