Anti-Hail Rockets
Hello All,
Another class of full-scale rockets that would lend themselves well to scale modeling is anti-hail rockets (also called hail-suppression rockets and rain-enhancement rockets). Many of them could easily be modeled at 1:1 (100%) scale. Below are links to illustrations of and information on several different types of anti-hail rockets: PGR PP-8 and PGR PP-6T (Serbian) http://www.poliesterpriboj.com/protivgradne_rakete..en Sky Clear 6 (Russian) http://www.cloud-seeding.eu/en/skyclear6.htm 13 Anti-Hail Rocket Suppliers (Italian) http://chemistry.europages.co.uk/bu...il-rockets.html Various models (Chinese) http://www.wholesale-electrical-ele...et-1380322.html Alazan 5 (Russian) http://www.attech.ru/en/alazan/ Alazan 5 and Alazan 6 (Russian) http://www.chapaew.ru/default.aspx?...de=prod&type=en "Anti-Hail Rocket" (Chinese, looks suspiciously like one of "Sky's" model rockets) http://www.made-in-china.com/showro...Rocket-WR-.html A6 and A8 (Serbian) http://www.edepro.com/ProductsAntiHailRockets.html Alazan 9 (Russian) http://www.fr.tppchr.ru/index.php?Mn=13&sMn=39 WR Series (Chinese) http://ensunvalorcasc.w1.xacnnic.co...aspx?classid=93 WR-98 Series and WR-1D (Chinese) http://www.castcc.com/en/show.php?id=77 Alan-2 (Russian) http://www.attech.ru/en/alan/ Cohete Antigranizo "A Medida" (Argentinian) http://desarrollos-argentinos.blogs...01_archive.html developed by Instituto Civil de TecnologÃ*a Espacial (ICTE) www.icte.com.ar KPGR-6 (Serbian) www.krusik.rs/CIVIL.PROG_eng/KPGS.htm Also, Shaanxi Zhongtian Rocket Technologies Co., Ltd. (an anti-hail rocket manufacturer that also produces model rockets under the "Sky" name) offers the TK-1 and TK-2 hail-suppression rockets, the TY-3 sounding rocket, and the TY-4 meteorological rocket (see: http://www.wcu100.com/WeatherRocket...cketEnglish.htm ). Their TY-3 sounding rocket is particularly interesting as a scale model subject because it has a long, gently-tapered boat-tail, which would give a TY-3 scale model quite low drag. I hope this information will be useful.

Very interesting! I think a lot of those look really cool, and would make great scale projects.
Thanks for posting all that info, and for introducing the subject!

Could of used some these yesterday. 3/4inch hail devastated my garden. No more summer squash or beans this year.

Yeah, but I have to say, those are mostly butt-ugly, utilitarian type rockets. There are so many other 'scale' rockets whose look is not so ordinary.
Just my opinion... Allen |

I just found two more anti-hail rockets (also added to the main list in Posting #1 above):
