Has anyone ever thought to combine skyscraper architecture and rockets? There are many buildings that seem like they would lend themselves to being great fliers. Has anyone ever done or seen some?
It's not the most "rocket shaped", but I'd love to build a Sears (NOT #&%$@! Willis) rocket:

I built "Big John" a semi-scale model of the John Hancock Building in 1998....
https://www.nirarocketry.org/galleryMOM-1998.html Scroll down to November.
It has guts sort of like a model airplane fuselage with a black MonoKote cover and clear Lexan Fins.
For the Antennas I used long white pencil erasers from an office supply store.
I had to add quite a bit of nose weight and designed in a rear deployment parachute. I'll have to see if I have any flight pictures....
Norm,
Did you fly that during our "Launch a Landmark" contest? I thought I remember something like that, but IIRC, that contest was before '98
Having lived in chicago my entire life and still living in chicago i would love to see a sears tower rocket (and i 110% agree it's still sears haha)Has anyone ever thought to combine skyscraper architecture and rockets?
