It’s not quite a rocket, but this home made model can lift off and land! Here’s the project, from Bribro12 via hackster.io:
In the beginning of this year I was really amazed by the fast and succesive achievements SpaceX made. So I decided I wanted to do a SpaceX related project. Being a SpaceX fan for a few year now, I decided to go for the Falcon 9 inspired look on my build. I’m referring to ‘inspired’ because i took some general proportion from the Falcon 9 rocket but had to make a lot of changes to get the “rocket” functional on the scale I was intending to build it. The “rocket” has a deployable landing gear, thrust vecrtor control unit and uses a 6s 70mm 12 blade fan capable of 2.5 kg of thrust. The thrust vector controll unit is being controlled by a Pixhawk X4 running Ardupilot V4.0.4 which is configured as a single copter. I’m essentially building a single copter in the shape of a rocket.
