I saw a thing on Travel Channel tonight that was showing off the EZRocket. This raised a couple of questions. It looked like he has that thing going straight up. How can this be, with that canard wing. Other than just brute force I thought for sure it would stall? Second, what is the landing speed of one of them things? It seemed like he was hauling @$$ when he landed. Thanks, Fred The best angle of climb is about 42 degrees at 80 kt, where the rate of climb is about 5,500 fpm. The best rate of climb is about 10,000 fpm at the airplane's Vne (never exceed speed) of 195 kt, where the angle of climb is about 30 degrees. The two rocket engines produce 400 pounds of thrust each. Touchdown speed is 55 to 60 kt just like any other long EZ. You'll find some close-up pictures and info in my Oshkosh Scrapbook from last year, www.AirplaneZone.com/Oshkosh/Scrapbook2002 Select "Index" and scroll down to "Xcor EZ Rocket". David O |
