Hi! SM-30 : Zero-length launching system test aircraft. The aircraft were fitted with a PRD-22 solid motor providing a peak thrust of 40 tons for 2.5 seconds...

Still every major work under the waterline after the launch has to be made in some sort of dry dock. Slipways size is comparatively a lesser concern. One thing always amazed me is why designers put so much effort during the design of the Yamato class in containing the length when the preceding...

...the general historical overview of the Tiny Tim, but that's not what I'm after specifically. I'm wondering moreso about the zero-length launch rail/rack, in that it represents a fairly unique installation in regards the rocket, which would otherwise be dropped before motor ignition on most...

Not to mention that the USAF would have absolutely zero interest in trying to figure out what the USN's requirements would be (not just length but all the other things). This program was stood up just as the X-51 effort concluded. That was also an AFRL partnership with NASA and others. AF set...

Interesting. Until you mentioned it, I hadn't thought about the similarity to ZELL. The early USAF "Zero Length Launch/Mat Landing (ZELMAL)" concept also relied on a flexible deck of sorts. An F-84 was supposed to land wheels-up on big rubber air mattress while snagging a cable with an arrester...

...MPAs about, and be confident you'll be gone before one shows up to ruin the game. That means it's got to be a sealed round in a zero-length launcher, no setup required – not a miniature aircraft that requires assembly and checkout before launch. Launching submerged would be even better of...

This rather obscure Sweden weapon system, actually, quite interesting: It is the first Western shipborne anti-ship missile ever commissioned, and the only one Western SSM close to Soviet cotemporary analogues (like P-15 "Termit"). Interesting to note, that it seems to be essentially an...

Hypersonic Ground Electric AB Engine by Alexander Bolonkin Abstract At the present time, rocket launch systems, flight passenger-transport and ground passenger systems have reached their peak of development. In the last 30 years there has been no increase in speed or reductions in trip costs...

I'd say the chance of that would be about zero. There is no search sensor for a hard kill active protection sensor and the tubes are full length for long range rockets not short range self defence interceptors. There are many good reasons for two types of rocket tubes. The upper tubes are...
