This is a doodle I came up with based on an idea that's been rolling around in my brain for a while. It's a two-engine cluster in a BT 60/70 size tube, with one short-delay engine (e.g. B6-2) and one long-delay (e.g. B6-6) of the same impulse rating. When the short delay ejection charge fires, it causes two speedbrake panels to pop open, bringing the upward coasting phase of the flight to an abrupt end. As the rocket descends, the long delay charge fires and pops open the parachute.
In an attempt to be clever, I call it "Braking Bad."
I'd appreciate your comments, critiques, and/or ruthless ridicule.
