The TFS boosted dart project has one and one very simple goal, fly over 100km. It begins with the development of a half scale 76mm boosted dart followed by a 152mm boosted dart. I have decided to post my build progress and findings here, and when I'm finished my finalized research paper on the project.
This project was inspired by the Loki, Super Loki and Viper Dart sounding rockets which repeatedly hit 55km-115km reliably. In fact the Super Loki dart hit 90-115km on a mere 38kn in a 98mm case. https://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/750796.pdf (just cause you probably don't believe me)
I'm of course hoping this project comes into fruition, but it is one thing to talk about and another to actually do. In any case, I plan on posting much of what I do here so others can learn and I can learn from others. After all, that is why I'm planning on doing this in the first place.
