ポルシェより速いロケット自転車

by Ittousai Jan 19th 2006 @ 12:00AM

Orion Propulsion社のロケットエンジニア Tim Pickens氏によるロケット推進自転車。同氏が設計に協力したサブオービタル宇宙船Spaceship Oneと(原理としては)おなじハイブリッドロケットエンジンを搭載、加速性能は静止状態から時速60マイル(約100キロ)まで5秒以下。

Pickens氏いわく、「(自分や同僚は) みんな心の底では自分が宇宙に行きたいと思っているけど、それが叶わない連中なんだ。」「これは自分用のミニ宇宙計画みたいなものだね。」構想中の次のプロジェクトは推力2000ポンドのロケットエンジンを載せたピックアップトラックとのこと。
