Default Thiokol TX-38 ducted rocket

Hello All,

Here are web page links and attached photographs (please see below) for the Thiokol TX-38 ducted rocket test vehicle. This 72" long, 6" diameter hybrid between a solid propellant rocket and a ramjet was test-flown successfully in 1958. It would make a simple yet interesting scale model rocket. The links are:

I hope this material will be useful.
