Improvement request[edit]

Let me see if I can get some imagery and more detailed specs from Xcor staff. I know most of them... Georgewilliamherbert 21:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

X-rocket edit[edit]

I've taken the liberty to remove the statment that this aircraft will be the basis for the Rocket Racing league aircraft. The Rocket Racing League's planes are being based on the Velocity airframe. Akradecki 18:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to put it back in, slightly modified. The EZ-Rocket is a test vehicle, which serves as a prototype for the RRL aircraft even though they will use a different (but related) airframe, motor, and even propellants (kerosene instead of alcohol). Georgewilliamherbert 21:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, although the folks at Velocity might take umbrage at their aircraft being called a "derivative" of the Long Eze.

Purpose?[edit]

What is the actual purpose of this experimental aircraft? Is it simply a racing plane? What makes it experimental in nature? L.cash.m (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

remmed[edit]

I remmed this para because it is patently un-true!!

EZ-Rocket was the first privately built and flown rocket-powered airplane, making its maiden flight in 2001.^[1]
