|
|
UAV Rocket-Glider. Piloted with rudder and stick during descent. Rear ejection of emergency chute; likely chute landing over belly landing. Inter-changeable motor mount. For this phase, aircraft will fly like a normal rocket without RC controls or onboard wireless video; the main objectives being stability and motor-ejected rear-end chute deployment.

|
|
UAV Rocket-Glider. Piloted with rudder and stick during descent. Rear ejection of emergency chute; likely chute landing. Inter-changeable motor mount. For this phase, aircraft will ascend normally, and test maneuvers will be executed while FPV is recording, in order to document the stability of the video downlink. Glide will only be brief as altimeter will fire between 3s - 7s after apogee.
