This project involves taking my rocket plane to the next level through experimenting with air starting the rocket engines. 🚀

📌ABOUT
Project Air is all about building DIY aerospace engineering creations, learning about the science behind them and testing to the limit. Make sure to check out the rest of the channel to watch projects on RC planes, drones, rc boats, hydrofoils, hydroplanes, seaplanes, rockets and more. Project Air was started in 2017 by James Whomsley 😎

"mmm i've lost complete control! Better ignite the rocket engines!!" Wahaha great stuff mate, had me laugh :) 👍

Have you thought about using a prob from a glider, the ones that fold back when not in use. Might help having them fold back when you hit the rocket... loving the videos by the way !!

get this guy to 100k

DO NOT put a folding propeller ! You can extract a lot of thrust from you propeller even at very high speeds. You should consider putting a higher pitch propeller, and/or go to a higher voltage battery to get higher RPM.

You show great tenacity James, good on you.

Look at some as3x gyros they are a godsent for small planes in bumpy weather, there only made to keep the plane stable it wont do anything lie the “safe” gyro, it just keeps your plane pointed where u point it.
I also recommend practicing landing multiple times every time u fly not actually putting the plane down just practice keeping it slow and putting it into ground affect

use parachute if plane is hard to land and ripping motors

I had a bad day and seeing you succeed brightened up my day! Amazing video James! I think you need an esc with a brake feature(my turnigy plush-32 has one) to stop the motor immediately while still having speed and a folding propeller to reduce drag, as the area of a non folding spinning propeller that produces drag is equal to the circle that the prop makes when spinning and not just surface area of blades.

No worries mate, your not the only one who had gone through that path before. Like your perseverance, keep up the good work.

I love your smaller airplane ! Weight is absolutely critical, especially in rockets. To go faster you should put a propeller with a bigger pitch, so it will not overspin when lighting up the rocket, which makes the motor ineffective.

When those four 'D' engines popped off on the ground, I got a good laugh, thanks, needed that! Good recovery.

don’t worry, this video isn’t over yet..
WORDS of INSPIRATION!!
i am a cow and i approve this comment
also, moo

Watching all you guys on youtube has definitely inspired me. I've built a few planes this year, and have plans to design and build even more.
YouTube creators are the true "influencers.."

Really glad you tried this. was a project 14 year old me always wanted to try. RC tech hadn't progressed to the point it was practical and Pre job dollars were precious. Good stuff. Good on your sponsor Brilliant.Org for helping you out.

This whole project kinda reminds me of the HE 161, or the first tests of the ME 262! Love your videos, keep it up!

So firstly, this was rad! :D Secondly, I have lots of suggestions! I'd like to agree with both (1) the people saying use a canard and/or delta config (easier for CG, they are SO forgiving) and (2) the people saying use a higher pitch prop rather than a folder. I'd also add, try to have more tapering at the rear of the craft, and taper the trailing edge of the wings to be thinner - you're going to lots of effort to make a lovely nose cone, but rear streamlining makes a way bigger difference to drag reduction than frontal streamlining. And then, cashing in some of those savings on parasitic drag, you could afford to have just a little more wing area, for a much easier takeoff and landing.

THANK YOU for showing when it goes wrong and you have to study why. Then with what you have learned build again, over and over until you get it right.💯👍

Best yet.. would be good to see a continuation of this with you beating your record!
