Default Navy Builds Ramjet Missile with Model Rocket Engines and a Credit Card

A $900 model rocket engine? I wonder who they bought it from? Aerotech? What size? Single use or reloadable?

Very cool. My first job after college was at China Lake. It was called the Naval Weapons Center back in the late 70s. I worked on Sidewinder and Shrike. The sapphire dome on the Sidewinder cost the equivalent of a pretty nice car back then -- about $13K.
