The body tube (BT-80) was glassed with 1-ply of BID cloth and covered with peel ply. Paper templates were made for the delta wings, winglets, vertical stabilizer and ventral fin …
We flew the Blue Dart Delta rocket glider at Crooked Creek this morning. Click here for a short video of the launch.
Thanks for following the Blue Dart Delta Assembly progress. This rocket glider has a length of 37″ and a wingspan of 20″. It is launched from a vertical rail using an Aerotech E-6 24mm composite rocket engine. We will ignite the engine using a wireless launch controller and an electric spark igniter. The Blue Dart …

This one launch ignition system can be used to ignite A-E and beyond. We successfully and consistently ignite A-E black powder rocket engines using …
