Rocket-Powered Model Jet: Quest for Speed

🚀Upgrading the model jet to be a pure rocket-powered aircraft improves its aerodynamics and eliminates draggy air intakes.

💨Launching the plane from a drone and releasing it for a dive allows it to gain speed and acceleration.

🛠️Structural modifications and reinforcements were made to ensure the durability and stability of the plane.

📷An on-board camera captures the flight from an aerial perspective, providing a unique view of the rocket-powered plane in action.

🔧Repairs and modifications to the plane are relatively easy due to its foam construction.

What was the purpose of modifying the plane to be a pure rocket-powered aircraft?

—Modifying the plane improved its aerodynamics and eliminated draggy air intakes, allowing for higher speeds and acceleration.

How did the plane achieve higher speeds without an electric motor?

—By attaching the plane to a drone and releasing it for a dive, it gains speed and acceleration with the assistance of gravity.

Were there any challenges encountered during the flight?

—Yes, there were challenges such as landing difficulties and the need for structural reinforcements to withstand high speeds.

What purpose did the on-board camera serve?

—The on-board camera provided an aerial perspective of the flight, capturing the action from a unique viewpoint.

Are repairs and modifications to the foam plane easy to perform?

—Yes, repairs and modifications to the foam plane are relatively easy due to the material's construction.
