Let's give it up for that minimum diameter O 3400 attempt at 3:20. Dude built that in his garage. Nose cone sheared off at Max Q from what I understand. Fins held tight even through the shred.
Yea he found out that your mom is pregnant again. So he went to get them smokes in another state 😳. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE MAILMAN IS MY FATHER AND HE RAN OFF TOO ! PROBABLY NEEDED TO DELIVER SOME BAD NEWS TO ANOTHER PERSON 😪
@@shere_kan8329 Why do you have to go through a private company to get certified to build model rockets? What happens if you just build an S-class rocket and launch it in the middle of nowhere?
@@ToyotaTechnical for Model rockets, you can just launch at your town's yard. But, for High Power Rockets, you are obligated to have a waiver from the FAA. It's the law
@@shere_kan8329 Why do I have to go through a private company to get a certificate to then get a waiver from the FAA? Why can't I just get a waiver from the FAA with blueprints?
@@ToyotaTechnical you definitely don't have to go through a company to get a waiver. It's just a reaal pain in the ass for normal people, so associations like Tripoli rocketry or the NAR do it for you, and you can launch at their clubs, during their events
An AIM-9X's stated range of "more than 10 miles" as stated by the US Air Force is less than half the altitude achieved by this sounding rocket, which, by the way, isn't a missile lol. Moreover, the entire point of a Sidewinder is it's ability to NOT fly straight, lol.
I'm in the midst of building one with a k550 in it... nowhere near as powerful as this gem, but it will be my first. Only thing is, I don't have anywhere to launch from and I live in middle suburbia. Any tips on a clandestine launch approach?
Cool launch and burn. Even with bunkers and such, don't know that I'd want to be that close to it at ignition as good as the view is. Wouldn't want it to be my last.
F.A.R. (where they launched) has lots of hardened infrastructure. They have lots of safety rules. They're good people. And video teams have telephoto lenses - everyone was safe.
hypersonic rockets have been a thing since the start man. just look up the speeds of the early rockets. then things like the v2. jupiter, russian orbital rockets, saturn, soyuz, shuttle, all of it goes hypersonic. always has. the hypersonic race happening today is completely different. the race today is for WITHIN ATMOSPHERE hypersonic flight with completely maneuverable platforms to avoid any defenses etc. this is incredibly hard because in the atmosphere means significant heating on the bodies, maneuvering add those speeds adds extreme stresses and so on. this is what militaries are pursuing. the public hear it and think hypersonic rocket flight is a new thing. i mean like cmon, you know what orbital velocity is right? 17,500mph around. youre wayyyy deep into hypersonic flight at those speeds
@@jamesmaddison4546 To add to your info, another benefit with in-atmo hypersonic missiles is the massive increase to it's Specific Impulse over conventional solid or liquid fueled rockets, since the rocket only needs to carry fuel after the first stage has brought the missile up to speed for the ramjet to take over, the distance the missile can fly is much higher than a conventional ballistic missile since all it's oxygen is coming from the atmosphere instead of onboard tanks, so the fuel tanks can be enlarged to fill the volume oxygen normally would. It would be like the difference between using bottled high pressure air to run a car, no matter how much volume of that car you fill with compressed air, or even cryogenic liquid air (assuming the fuel tank is optimized/stoichiometric to the air supply), it won't run anywhere near as long as it would running from atmospheric air, since the car can be optimized to carry more fuel with the increased volume that the air tanks would have occupied. They're actually quite terrifying if you ask me, a nuclear missile traveling at Mach 10 with at _least_ the maneuverability of a fighter jet makes me go a little pale...
That's what they can ONLY be, huh? The tape is holding the foam on the fins (which are just fins, by the way) to protect anyone working on the rocket from the extremely sharp edges. You didn't notice that they came off? But you're so observant!
@@RocketVlogs Hey I'm just looking for your top-secret sorcery, as to how you pulled off such a beautiful flight. One must use ALL the tricks to get it THIS good! Congrats. ...no rollerons, hmm. I would like to see some active stabilization systems in action. They're REALLY cool, too!
Why do you assume these guys are rich? And why are you even watching this? Your remark comes off as angry and bitter about some goal you never achieved…
@@jimveybe7689 No, none of this has ANYTHING to do with “working”…I don’t know where you’re getting that from. *That’s* what makes you bitter and angry. You’re hostile for no apparent reason
