Ben's Wing Zinger

Ben Nead, former owner/manager of Jetex.org, launches his first Rapier powered model – a converted 9" Wing Zinger foam glider – in the Arizona desert on May 21 2001. This photo prompted Richard Crossley to write “Great picture, Ben! That thing looks like it's just been blown out of the front of your trousers!” Ben himself says “It also looks like I’m being zapped by a death ray from a UFO! A cool effect, actually. There’s nothing like a desert backdrop with the expansive blue sky to make things even more sci-fi looking.”

Welcome to Jetex.org

Contributors the world over are helping to build Jetex.org, a comprehensive online resource covering the technical and historical aspects of small sustained thrust micro rocket motors for use in model airplanes and other craft. The post-WWII British-made Jetex motors are the most well known and well thought-of examples.

Please take a moment to read through this introductory page if you are a first time visitor here. You may access all areas of the site from the navigation bar above or at the bottom of this page, or by using the site map.

Additionally, in our Forum Archive you can take advantage of the extensive collection of the past contributions of fellow aeromodellers, historians, scientists and assorted other micro rocket enthusiasts from all around the world, as they discussed everything from how to build and fly model jets to collecting vintage motors.

Have fun looking around, and please contact us if you have any questions or would like to contribute.

You can read more about Jetex.org on our About page – why we're here, how we got here, who's behind it, and, most importantly, how you can help us become an even more valuable resource.
