Black arrow ( lipstick rocket )

[Soyuzturtle]

I've decided to release the rocket which I built for team frontier , the black arrow.

The black arrow rocket was a small British rocket developed in the late 60s and early 70s. It was designed to launch small satellites into low Earth orbit. Though the project was cancelled in 1971 , it performed multiple suborbital flights and we have enough information about it for me to do a replica with an accuracy of 20cm (Im pretty sure).

It can be slightly hard to activate all the first stage engines but there should be four kolibris. Also the fairing can't deploy until you detach the 2nd stage. Sadly , you also cannot deploy the satellite due to there not being room for decouplers. I hope you guys will still have fun with it!

Nice

Do Avon flyin lipsticks now

joke

btw its nice!!

Better run, Marmilo is gonna destroy you because of that last stage engine

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Better run, Marmilo is gonna destroy you because of that last stage engine

What last stage engine?

 

[Cresign]

What last stage engine?

Kolibri

 

[TtTOtW]

Well, it ain't stretched...

 

[Cresign]

Well, it ain't stretched...

What? No! It is not to scale!

 

[TtTOtW]

What? No! It is not to scale!

Lol. Oh. Well... in SFS we are unable to shrink engines...

 

[Marmilo]

I'd love to do that.

 

[Cresign]

Lol. Oh. Well... in SFS we are unable to shrink engines...

Just use RCS like me

 

[Cresign]

I'd love to do that.

Im curious that anti streched engines would be accepted...

 

[Marmilo]

Just use RCS like me

It's also not ideal.

 

[TtTOtW]

For replicas, if an appropriate look cannot be achieved, stretched (and if possible, also shrunk) engines would be accepted if the dead weight penalty is paid.

 

[Marmilo]

In replicas it happens quite often that you have to go for a compromise. Either looks or technical similarity(like engine types).

 

[Soyuzturtle]

Sorry forgot the BP lol.

 

[James Brown]

You cannot add three more engines and reduce the size of them in the bottom meh?

 

[Soyuzturtle]

You cannot add three more engines and reduce the size of them in the bottom meh?

Why would I need to add 3 more engines and shrink the bottom?

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Um, this is a replica. He cannot modify the number of engines, he has to use the same number of engines the real rocket had.

 

[James Brown]

Why would I need to add 3 more engines and shrink the bottom?

I mean, reduce the size of the engine at the bottom and add three more of them

 

[Marmilo]

reduce the size of the engine

Unfortunately we can't do that.
GiveEnginesSizeParameter!

GiveEnginesSizeParameter!

Oh no……

 

[Soyuzturtle]

Unfortunately there's no smaller engine other than RCS and that's way to small and inefficient.
