Semroc - Aerobee-Hi

Home > Aerobee-Hi

The first production models of the MMI Aerobee-Hi were produced with hand-turned maple nose cones. Later production models used a soft vinyl nose cone. A parallel wound body tube was lined inside with a thin aluminum motor mount at the bottom and several wraps of manila paper in the upper section to protect from the ejection gases. The early versions used the 11/16” x 2.5” Rock-achute motors. The MMI Kit O01 included the Aerobee-Hi, launcher, and 6 standard Type A engines.

The MMI Aerobee-Hi was not an exact scale model but was close enough for many early model rocketeers to build and fly a small version of a popular sounding rocket of the 1950’s. The Retro-Repro Aerobee-Hi is designed to capture the MMI version as thousands of modelers flew in the infancy of model rocketry. The modern updates to the Aerobee-Hi are laser-cut balsa fins, precision turned balsa nose cone, and a more reliable Kevlar shock cord mount.
