Rarely will you see the chance to fly a fighter aircraft ejection seat rocket motor in a high power model rocket. So, when my friends at Evolution Space offered me one for my full-scale Arcas rocket with tip to tip hand laid carbon fiber, I absolutely had to jump on the chance. The flight simulated to past the speed of sound (Mach 1) and over 15,000 feet with an acceleration of 150G, or 150 times the force of gravity.

Help me get Shane to Midwest Power and order a poster of this amazing launch photo here!

Pretty sure you made the first attempt at a core sample from the core of the earth with that one.
That's a total badass rocket motor...
I don't believe you're going to find the rocket. I think its orbiting somewhere over the Sahara desert currently...
It was a great flight. I hope some day there is a motor for sale comparable to this
I was wondering about the G force load over the flight duration and really, was not surprised by an electronics pod failure. Also was surprised the fins stayed on though. It was a good flight not withstanding and excellent job on the rocket build by the way. It stayed together. That motor was insane!!!!
Outstanding
She was all business on take off geez lol
Nice photo !!!
That motor is badass!!
Legit shot Shane!!!
Your videos always bring enjoyment. Thanks for your creativity! 🥳👏
wow... That WAS spicy. Sorry it couldnt be recovered. Now you have room to build another one ;)
Ive seen alot of fast rockets, but that has to be the quickest ever... and Ive been watching rockets since LDRS6
Look up the sprint missile
Just ordered my poster.🚀
9 shock diamonds!!! The spiciest meataballa...
Awesome video! I bought a poster and I hope to get a chance to talk with you guys at Midwest Power!
Anything worth doing, is worth over doing!
Time to get building for the O35k flight!
CAUTION!!
Don't get cloth around a spinning lathe!!! I watched the guy two lathes down the line lose his arm.
Came here looking for this comment! And with both hands so that if they slip off, he could fall right onto it 😧
VERY COOL !!! Found me a new channel.
IDK, I'm pretty sure that one was ALL motor. 🤣
That was awesome! 150g's?!... Are you exaggerating or did you not run flight calculations before flight?
Not an exaggeration. Math showed about 155G on takeoff. The rocket only weighs 15 pounds without the motor in it! 4,500 pounds of thrust ain't no joke!
So I’m late watching this video. Is the wall poster going to be made available again? Not sure what you were asking for it, but it was a pretty cool piece. I’m not seeing it in the store any longer. Thanks for a good video.
The listing expired, but if you want one you can shoot me an email to rocketvlogs911@gmail.com
They are print on demand. I'd like to get some printed so I can offer them a bit cheaper
I like to see a recent tour of all your rockets built or not built. As of 2023. If you haven't done so already.
I can do that! Haha
that was not spicy... THAT WAS UNSANE xD Great fly... next time all metal xD
So this is a military ejection seat motor or "it's basically like a military ejection seat motor"? Other than feeling baited, I liked your project.
They make a production motor for ejection seats, but my rocket could not fit one as it's true 4" OD and thus the same size as my motor tube. So, they made a 3.8" version to fit inside my rocket.
@@RocketVlogs I see.
@@RocketVlogsas someone that used to be an engineer in the aerospace field, this has nothing at all in common with ejection seat motors except having somewhat similar thrust output to some ejection seat motors. The motors in ejection seats vary greatly in thrust, burn time, some even use multiple motor burns to accomplish ejection. It all depends on the the capabilities, space availability of the aircraft, the weight of what is to be ejected, more modern aircraft actually take into account air speed and altitude and adjust how many burns are needed to clear the aircraft as safely as possible, or to achieve enough altitude for the parachute to deploy properly.
Really cool! When i talked to you at airfest you said you had planned to do another high altitude 54mm flight i believe? Are you still planning on doing that i like the idea of a project like that
I've got two planned, actually!
@@RocketVlogs awesome! Looking forward to seein that.
Do Where do they buy the engines
They make them
Literally a Nike Sprint
Literally a full scale replica of a different actual rocket lol
It’s all motor.
Like...ALL of it is motor
Yo, You need excatly 100 more per my like. LMAO!!!!
why didn't I think of this
