Test firing of a self-made rocket as a proof of concept for angled-launch vehicles. By "angled-launch" we mean launched at an angle between 0° horizontal and 90° vertical. The rocket elevation was done with invisible landing gears, and the engine is a beefed-up JATO.

The launch site is somewhere in the Australian Outback.

Soundtrack is Shissou from the FMP:TSR OST. Made in QT Pro.

  • whith wich programm do yo made it can i have it too (freeware?) ,im german..

  • The flightsim X-Plane (Windows version) was used to build and operate this rocket. For more info, go to X-Plane[dot]org (sorry, it is not freeware, it costs about $48 USD + shipping).

  • The drag from the (invisible) landing gear caused a pitch-down moment on takeoff, but the flight path was corrected a few seconds later.
