N Project: 6" Glass Fibre/Carbon Fibre Rocket, Part 3



Construction progress on the 6" glass fibre/carbon fibre N-motor rocket at the old machine shop of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, in September 2000.

Top photo shows project initiator and designer Professor Eugene Trubowitz preparing glass fibre components for installation in the upper airframe section, which has just been cut to length. Same image as well as centre photo provide views of the magnificent custom-made 6" carbon fibre nose cone.

Lower picture depicts one of many test-fittings of the recovery system with deployment bags.
