How To Make The Research Dart Rocket-Powered Paper Airplane

Fast, small and a dedicated rocket plane, the Research Dart is a great research testbed. If you want to put a rocket in an aircraft, this is your plane. With its dart configuration and it's internal bays, it reduces drag and increases potential speed.







TAA Designation: X5-1

Step 1 Materials

Required:
1 Piece of 8.5 by 11 inch paper
Tape
Optional:
Pencil

Well, from the peak of the bay to the trailing edge, you fold parallel to the center fold of the paper. By the "peak" I mean the furthest point out from the fuselage. A pencil should help find this point before beginning the fold.

ok i get what you mean...i dont attach the bays to the wings...i just close them...it works better try it. i cant wait to put some engines in it. im going to try the smallest model rocket engines. i tried bottle rockets. successful but i lost the plane (the ending charge xD ) great ible!!!!!!!

if you put rockets in the plane the rockets would cause the plane to catch fire then you would have to rocket engines flying off to who knows where

Sometimes yes, other times no. For the most part, this is simply strapping a plane to a rocket, however this is about the cleanest design you can have for such a task. Therefore less drag, higher speed and further flight.
