AeroTech Unveils New E20W Model Rocket Motor at 2009 iHobby Expo
AeroTech Consumer Aerospace is introducing a new 24mm 'E'-class single-use model rocket motor in new retail packaging at the 2009 iHobby Expo trade show in Chicago, IL held during October 22 through 25.
The new E20W is the same physical size as a black powder 'D' motor at 24 X 70mm, but is only slightly heavier. It generates 36 newton-seconds (8.1 pound-seconds) of total impulse over a burn time of 1.7 seconds and with a peak thrust of 35.6 newtons (8.0 pounds). The E20W produces over twice the power of the black powder D12 and 1.3 times the power of the black powder E9, and fits in all kits designed for the D12 and E9.
The E20W features an all-new one piece molded phenolic casing with a built-in thrust ring, and ships with a FirstFire Jr.™ 2-lead igniter which can be used with most popular model rocket launch controllers. It includes the same molded threaded bulkhead as the previously-released F32T. Delay times will be offered initially in 4 (P/N 62004) and 7 (P/N 62007) second variations.
The E20W uses a high-percent solids, high-performance version of AeroTech's White Lightning™ Ammonium Perchlorate composite propellant in a "C-slot" grain configuration. During development testing, AeroTech measured a delivered propellant specific impulse (propellant propulsion efficiency rating) in the E20W as high as 233.4 seconds. Other specifications of the E20W include a loaded weight of 49 grams, propellant weight of 16.2 grams, fired weight of 27 grams, diameter of 0.938" (24mm) and a casing length of 2.75" (70mm).
The E20W will be sold in a 2-unit clamshell package with full-color instruction & motor data graphics at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
AeroTech is now accepting retailer orders for the E20W motor and anticipates National Association of Rocketry (NAR) certification to be granted in late October to early November. Shipments of E20W motors to dealers are expected to begin within 30 days.
A promotional flyer on the E20W is now available for download in PDF format from the "Catalogs, Flyers, Data Sheets & Thrust Curves" page of the AeroTech Resource Library on the AeroTech website at https://www.aerotech-rocketry.com.
