I have two amateur rocket designs. Both are ballistic, meaning they
have a down range flight path. One is a 29mm high power engine design. I plan on using a 3D printer to make stack-able fuselage sections. A large printer should be able to make 8 inch tall sections. The section coupling is included. It is a finless design using a rotating launching tube to cause inertial stability. Say, 5000 rpm target. It uses 1-1/4 standard pipe. schedule 40 or 80 can be used. The fit dictates the fuselage thickness around the engine. I hope for a three mile range controlled by payload mass. Say, a 45 degree launch tube. I have a proper end mill to cut out a standard 1-1/4 pipe bore in a 4 inch diameter vee-belt pulley. My question is where to test it out. Is there an approved range that allows ballistic flight paths? Or maybe I should be winging it and launching somewhere in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay? The second design is a 50 pound payload heavy lifter. Think like the engine is a 1 foot diameter and 1 foot tall cylinder with a safe fuel design. |
