NAR S&T Certifies New AeroTech F30FJ Black Max Model Rocket Motor

The National Association of Rocketry (NAR) Standards & Testing (S&T) Committee has certified AeroTech’s new 24 X 95mm F30FJ single-use model rocket motor.



The F30FJ features a molded phenolic casing with a built-in thrust ring, a molded plastic bulkhead and uses AeroTech’s Black Max™ propellant which produces a dense black exhaust. The F30FJ will be available in three time delays: F30-4FJ (P/N 63004), F30-6FJ (P/N 63006) and F30-8FJ (P/N 63008).

The NAR’s certified total impulse for the F30FJ is 47 N-sec. Other statistics include a burn time of 1.51 seconds, an average thrust of 30.4 newtons, peak thrust of 40.6 newtons, propellant mass of 31.2 grams and an initial mass of 70 grams. It may be used interchangeably in kits designed for other 24 X 95mm motors such as the AeroTech F32T and the black powder E9. The F30FJ weighs only slightly more than the E9, but delivers over 1.6 times the total impulse.

The F30FJ is being submitted to the California Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) for approval of sale & use in California.
