Formula X Racer

Posted April 2, 2004 19:25 | Category: Small Craft | #

Formula X Racing uses the latest in rocket technology. This racer is expected to dominate the solar system racing circuit this year.

The wings are attached using hinges. The lower wings fold up to the horizontal for landing, and the landing gear legs fold out. In flight, the lower wings are adjusted to a 45-degree angle.

The rear engines have attitude jets on the top, bottom, and sides. There are also attitude jets facing down in the nose.

Sorry if the images are hard to make out... that's the hazard of building in black.
