Jump Vehicle Details Ping Pong Productions
2
Design Strategy Start with an already proven vehicle concept Improve upon it with modern technology Allow for full scale testing with final vehicle
3
Improvements over X-2: Replaceable Crush Nose Cone Pilot Escape System Filament Winding Body Fabrication Carbon Overwrapped Pressure Vessel Ballistic Recovery Systems (BRS) Parachute Egress Cockpit cgcg cpcp Increased Static Margin
4
Fuselage Construction Filament wound composites fabrication 2.5x stronger and 45% lighter than aluminum Greater launch height with smaller motor Less stress on parachute system Allows for flight testing with final vehicle ISO9001, AS9100 and ISO17025 certifications
5
Steam Rocket Engine Safest and most reliable rocket motor type Same motor can be reused after flight tests Carbon Overwrapped Pressure Vessel Tested to 30,000 psi (operates at ~700 psi) 1/3 rd the weight of stainless steel (X-2) Significantly more c g flexibility for stability
6
Parachute System Ballistic Recovery Systems (BRS) design Rocket extraction deployment Assures rapid opening from any attitude FAA Certified – over 30,000 installed units Computer assisted deployment timing Dual systems / dual actuation methods
7
Egress Cockpit Integrated 5-point harness / BASE parachute Proven 3-ring release system Low minimum altitude Concept successfully tested from L-39 jet
