Aerotech's new propellant

https://youtu.be/9YdkcbfCHoc

Seems to be a fast blue thunder, slightly slower then Cti's Vmax.

Is that super thunder? It was once described to me as Warp 8, instead of 9. Still real fast!

Geez , I should sell my CTI M2250 cStar motor that i had slated for a Ultimate Dark Star cert flight and buy one of these !

Wow.. SuperDuper Thunder!

Seems to be around a M4500 to a M5000. I really hope they offer loads in other diameters / lengths.

There are some 38mm and maybe a 54mm DMS super thunders, I think.

Yeah, this is the Super Blue Thunder propellant, the same used in the H-550ST DMS/RMS motors that have a reliable delay and with super fast propellant. Warp 8 is a pretty good designation, but Super Blue Thunder has a nice ring to it :wink:. Thumb in the wind, this is an M-6000ish reload for the omnipresent 98-10240 casing. There are no 54's that I'm aware but if you dig it, you should ask Charlie for more .

Here's the H-550ST in action:

It's to slow to be a M6000. It looked to have a 2.1 to 2.2 second burn. I'm guessing around 9500 ns , so right around a 4500 to 5000

I love the H550. An M, well I can't wait.

The H550 and super blue are new to me. I sent them a request for a 98mm 2 grain load. I'm thinking it could be a L2400. The perfect compromise between the L1500BT and the L3150VM.

Oh it is definitely the better name; I only heard Warp 8 when asking to differentiate between the super and new thunders.

Might have more than 9500ns.....

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the total impulse is, well, pretty high. Recent posts on Aerotech's Facebook page may explain why .
