Looks like a boost glider to me! Paging Frank the boost glider guy (@burkefj) to the thread!

Well, let's see. I'd 3D print Sylvester, with a bit of a though to hold the rocket. I'd make his wings from birch ply and probably attach them to his arms using threaded inserts in the plastic as well as some epoxy. Make the rocket on his back separately and pretty normally, then epoxy it into the trough. Insert motor, push the button, and run like hell.

Special Thanks to Jim Flis for cleaning up the sky for me.

I want to spend a summer hanging out with jeb corliss, learning to fly a wingsuit.

Anything with Wile. E. on it would've ended up swinging from that irrigator in an actual Looney Tunes cartoon!

Gee whiz I'm a knucklehead... swinging from the irrigator and then, of course, the sprays come on, drenching said Super Jeenyous!

The wetness causing him to lose his grip, whereupon he is run over by one of the irrigator's wheels.

Oh, yes, oh yes! And then, just as he peels himself out of the tire track, the other one hits him!

Now if I could only figure out how to make this work...



But not have this happen...


And end up looking like this...

I think with a few minor mods, I can make a boost glider out of that. Extend the stick forward to help with ballast location to give it a workable CG, add some rear fins for stability.

Even easier if you make it based on a Skyrocket with a forward mounted motor, above the stick.

#Wile E. Coyote #A.C.M.E Catalog

 

[Hobie1dog]

back when it was all fun to see him dead 5-6 times per episode

 

[K'Tesh]

Oh, yes, oh yes! And then, just as he peels himself out of the tire track, the other one hits him!

And when he peels himself out of that track... Wham! #3 gets him, and stops... midway over the top of him...

 

[KenECoyote]

It would be epic to see him and Tom Cat trade places to see if the other could get Jerry Mouse or Road Runner!

I had forgotten about this thread but it was probably somewhere on my shoulder when I tried to channel the gang in here.

A very good lawyer might be able to bring a huge dangerous/defective products suit against ACME. I mean, every one of their products seem to blow up prematurely. The only thing that works as expected in the entire ACME catalog is the anvil, which seems to come packaged as a parachute. The giant rubber band and roller skates worked, but the problem is that roads in the western USA seem to end at dangerous cliffs.

Then the sprinklers slowly stop spraying, while they are pointed at the track, leading to a river of water flooding it... and bubbles from poor Wile E.

Fun fact: Acme was the name of a company that made a lot of equipment used in producing cartoons, so using the name was an in-joke for animators throughout the business. They started making equipment for the war effort and the government's missile development program in the 1940s and 50s and the company has since been known as Photosonics.
