Cargo Plane that drops Rocket powered plane

So I've always wanted to see things dropped out of planes. How about dumping out a r/c plane from a large cargo plane? The cargo plane could be fairly large with most of it's space for cargo. You guys could make a retractable wing mini plane that is specifically made for rockets! It should be a V-Tail and the end of the tail there could be space for a rocket. The wings could be spring retracting, so as soon as its pushed out of the plane it's wings pop open. It could be pushed out by a servo, maybe or something better. Is it possible? From what I've seen on FliteTest it is clearly possible. Oh and, they would both probably be made of foam, Eh.

Thanks for reading my post! Is it a good idea, is it plausible? Let me know!

Your cargo plane sir......scaled up of course

I've seen this one many times, it's what inspired me, and a few other ones. But thanks for reminding me of this.

I would think a plane with a switchblade wing, and a releasable drag chute would do it. The cargo door opens, the parachute deploys, it pulls the jet plane out, and the wing rotates into place as it clears the cargo plane. It glides a while, then the jet is activated. WOOOOSH!

That is pretty much exactly what I had in mind!

Rocket plane drop!

Rocket plane drop!

This might fall under the new Oregon proposed legislation prohibiting a projectile firing unmanned craft among other things.

its dropping, than flown by someone else, not firing anything, and they live in ohio, im posting from toronto.

Additionally, this very form of activity is what allowed NASA to place men on the moon and construct a reusable space shuttle. Those talented and intelligent engineers responsible for designing the mighty machines that reach space are who they are because they were free to explore the mysteries of air and space as children. These curious children, looking up at the stars, were inspired by their early success and failures building model aircraft and rockets. Had they not been allowed that freedom, how would these men and women have become those with the know-how and motivation to construct devices that only existed in the realm of science fiction merely 60 years ago?

Therefore, I respectfully submit, nay, I declare with utmost confidence, that finding my client guilty is not only a ridiculous decision, it is a decision that will stifle the creativity and eliminate the dreams of today's children who will grow up to become the next generation of explorers beyond our planet!

I rest my case.

Correction, in light of recent information as it pertains to said rockets.......may I submit this subtle grammatical change in the previous post......"rocket powered rocket droppers.......that dispense rockets??????? anyone????"

In all honesty any plane can do this. Even the nutball. If you build a cradle under the aircraft that can drop the rocket plane all you need is a servo that will release it then all you have to do is figure out how to fire the rocket!

Hey, if you are isolated with no chance of damaging any property and can quickly deal with a grass fire, I say go for it.

 

[lonewolf7717]

btw "can quickly deal with a grass fire" does not mean a water hose.....it means a wheel loader such as this one warmed up and ready to go with a bucket full of dirt.

Yea, but can it beat the 45 mile an hour winds to the flame front ?

That's when the cargo plane has a water drop

Thank you my defendant. I guess volunteer lawyers are better than paid personnel. Merci.

I understand you, but the nutball and a cargo plane have many differences. And I just wanted to see something like it on FliteTest. You following me?

Wow I like where this is going. In some pint in life I was going to build a plane that has a tank. Cause here in Canada it snows quite a bit. Imagine a plane that sprays salt water or such onto sidewalks and roads. That would be nice.
