Cruise missile gliders

[cbwho]

I am thinking that cruise missile inspired gliders would look cool attached to my space fighter-esque rockets. Any recommendations?

You mean like this? The Navajo

The “Snark” is good too. Great name, less space-fighter-ish. More successful in flight. Actually hit the wrong continent once!

I've always been partial to the air launch cruise missile from Boeing

I think you are referring the to use of parasite gliders in model rocketry. Estes Orbital Transport is one example. Another example is the Navajo.

Yes parasite gliders.

The Navajo one is what I was essentially pondering.

This one looks very stealthy and potentially simple to model?

It would be cool to build a rocket that would hold 4 parasite glides around the rocket. At engine burn out/ trust stop, they would disembark and glider wings would open. If they glided right it would look like dog fights happening.
I must get my RocSim 10 working.

I would like to invoke my 5th amendment rights at this time Senator.
