The "SR-72 Darkbird" is a model rocket kit that may look like an airplane, but trust us; it's all rocket power!
The stealthy SR-72 aircraft blasts off on rocket power, taking you along on its super-secret mission. You'll be pleased by its awesome liftoff. It is both visually spectacular, and an auditory blast. This is no woosh-pop rocket. After climbing straight-up to fantastic heights on the roar of rocket power, the SR-72 transitions to its primary mission as a high speed aircraft.
And when its mission is completed, it glides gracefully back to the ground; ready to take on its next top secret mission. You'll swear when watching it, that it looks like a real airplane screaming over the launch field.
Because of the unique design of the airplane, it can be prepped and launched again in seconds!
