When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
I was toying around at building a rocket based on a Muscle Car that utilized tractor motors. I even generated some CAD Models & Dwgs but the more I thought about it.. wouldn't a tractor motor rocket... based on a tractor.... be much more true to it's name?
Since I was raised on a small farm and have always liked old tractors this should be a fun project. We had a 1950's era Allis Chalmers row crop tractor, and an old Ford 8N. Neither of those are very aero-designed though.
I did some searching online for a vintage tractor that is something a bit unusual but also that has some quasi-aerodynamic qualities.
These old Oliver tractors had some sleek lines. Back in the era where form was as much a part of design as function.
Maybe have the tractor.... towing a rocket?
What do ya think... can it be made to fly?
