What is the EZ Rocket?
The EZ-Rocket is a modified Long-EZ homebuilt aircraft. The aircraft is powered by twin 400 lb thrust regeneratively cooled rocket engines and fueled by isopropyl alcohol and liquid oxygen. The EZ-Rocket includes an external composite fuel tank and an insulated internal aluminum liquid oxygen tank. The modifications were performed at XCOR Aerospace’s Mojave, CA shop. Tests were performed at the Mojave Civilian Flight Test Center. The EZ-Rocket has also flown at EAA Oshkosh 2002, the largest airshow in the world, held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and the Countdown to X-Prize Cup event, in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
