Some new drawings of French Rockets

PeterAlway said:

Here's another little teaser showing some rockets I've drawn up in the past few weeks. First is the Bellier, yet another upper atmoshpheric research rocket. Second is the Bereneice, a mulstistage rocket used to test missile RV models at high speeds. Notice that the first stage has four strap-on boosters that swiveled for control, rather than fins. Finally is the Rubis, a rocket used to test the upper stages of the Diamant, France's first satellite booster.

Very nice drawings Peter!
Are these going to be in an Updated Rockets of the World or in another Annex? Sure hope at some point you do another edition of ROTW.
Yes, these are wee little teaser images The full dimensioned drawings should be available in a couple of years, unless Sport Rocketry runs an article sooner.
