Has anybody ever seen or tried Aerocon System's "FlippiTwin" breech-launched sustainer/booster combination? Imagine a FOLDING FIN sustainer rocket that's INSIDE the booster's body tube. At booster motor burnout, the sustainer squirts out from WITHIN the body tube, the fins fold out, and the sustainer motor ignites! See the web site https://www.aeroconsystems.com/rockets/flippitwin.htm , and the attached drawing. The system uses a 29mm booster MMT (for an Aerotech Econojet F motor, say), and a 24mm sustainer MMT (for an Estes D-12 black powder motor).
I know that people have "shot" rockets out of PVC water pipes, but this is a different concept for mid-power rockets. What do you think?
