The National Association of Rocketry (NAR) Standards & Testing (S&T) Committee has certified AeroTech's new, redesigned G80T Blue Thunder™ single-use model rocket motor at 136.7 N-sec total impulse.

The new G80T is the highest performance single-use model rocket motor ever certified by the NAR. The new 137 N-sec rating represents a 42%+ increase in power over the previous G80T design.

The motor features an all-new molded phenolic casing with a built-in thrust ring, and ships with a FirstFire Jr.™ 2-lead igniter. Delay times will be offered in 7, 10 and 13 seconds which are intended to directly replace the current lineup of 4, 7 and 10 seconds. The suggested retail price for the new G80T will remain unchanged at $25.95 each.

The new G80T motors and outer packaging will be marked with a prominent label that differentiates them from older G80T motors and displays the new NAR-certified 137 N-sec total impulse rating. The first batches of motors are in production and shipments to dealers and distributors are expected to begin in the next few weeks.

The NAR certification document for the new G80T is now available for download in PDF format from the AeroTech Resource Library on the "Certification Documents" page or by clicking here. The new G80T motor instructions are also available for download from the "Instructions" page of the Library.
