Rotary Rocket film from 1998
Testing the imbed function. This is one of the space companies I helped found.
Film was done by FatBox. Yeah, they used those twinkie camera angles. Nobody asked me.
Those following the private space industry might recognize a few people who moved on to other companies and other achievments after Rotary folded (investment during the dot.com boom was going elsewhere at the time).
I know what you're thinking. Can it really fly with those little copter blades in real life?
We got that far in testing at least:
Yes, that is a full-scale test article, running on peroxide, with two pilots on board. It still stands on display (minus the rotors) down at Mojave.
