German rocket car. Opel RAK 2 rocket car in 1928. Fritz von Opel's first rocket car was the RAK 1,tested on 15 March 1928,reaching a top speed of 75 kilometres per hour. Less than 2 months later,the RAK 2 was reaching speeds of 230 kilometres per hour using 24 solid fuel rockets. Later work involved liquid-fuelled rockets. This early work on rocket cars and aircraft led the development of rockets as weapons in World War II,and then to the rocket-based spaceflight programmes in the USA and USSR | |
