The present invention is generally directed to a flying device and method for using, the flying device including: a fuselage, comprising a cavity therein with an opening at a rear of the fuselage configured to receive a launching device; a measuring device attached to the fuselage recording a number of rotations of the fuselage during flight: a first set of one or more fins attached to the fuselage at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the fuselage, configured to provide rotation to the fuselage when the device is thrown, launched, or otherwise impelled; such that the one or more fins rotate the device causing gyroscopic precession, thereby permitting the device to be thrown, launched, or otherwise impelled to stable flight at slower speeds with a flatter trajectory.

The invention relates to a holding and starting device for hydro-pneumatically driven aircrafts, in particular model rockets, composed of a base body carrying a flange that can be connected to it, the flange furthermore merging into a hollow cylinder portion receiving at least one sealing ring arranged at the outer circumference side, latches pivotable about a shaft, located on the flange and laterally encompassing the hollow cylinder portion, and having a latch engagement means for a locking ring of the aircraft, a release ring rotatably mounted on the base body relative to the longitudinal axis of the hollow cylinder portion and having recesses or setoffs for receiving stop ends of the respective latch, so that a release of the locking ring of the aircraft can take place. According to the invention, the latches have an actuating surface between the point of rotation of the shaft and the latch engagement means, which surface causes a pivoting movement of the latches when a nozzle-like neck portion of the aircraft is put on, with the consequence, that the respective latch engagement means engage behind the locking ring, furthermore the release ring is pretensioned in one of its rotational directions by means of an energy accumulator, wherein with a pivoting movement of the latches with their respective latch engagement means toward the locking ring, the stop ends of the latches are subjected to a positional change and exit the respective recess or the respective setoff such that the release ring turns into a holding end position. With or at a rotation of the release ring against the pretension, the stop ends of the latches move into the respective associated setoff or the respective associated recess, so that the latches release the locking ring for starting, wherein the latches are in this respect subjected to a pretension in the area between the point of rotation of the shaft and the stop end toward the center or middle point of the release ring.

The present disclosure discloses a rocket with a landing cabin, which belongs to the technical field of toy rockets, comprising a rocket body, a cabin shell which comprising two concave shell bodies, the edges of the two shell bodies cling to each other to enclose an accommodating cavity; the upper ends of the two shell bodies are hinged respectively with the lower end of the rocket body, and the two shell bodies are relatively rotatable to open or close the accommodating cavity; a parachute cloth, received within the accommodating cavity in a compressed mode and provided with a connector for connection with the shell bodies or the rocket body. The present disclosure is convenient for taking in a parachute.

Systems and methods for a toy rocket launch platform safety system are provided. Various embodiments include a system of switches attached to a moveable launch platform coupled to a static support structure via a pivot mechanism. The system of switches open when the moveable launch platform is not level to the ground or aligned along the central axis of the static support structure. When the system of switches is open, a toy rocket launch cannot occur. Some embodiments include a launch guidance system attached to the launch platform. A toy rocket is coupled to the launch guidance structure in such a way that the toy rocket assumes a trajectory dictated by the launch guidance structure. The launch guidance structure may be collapsible and when fully extended, achieves a height greater than that of the average adult.

A self-propelled rocket toy includes an elongated body located along a longitudinal axis having a top end opposite a bottom end. The body may include at least two supports outwardly extending from and fixed relative to the body. A propeller is centered about the longitudinal axis located about the body's bottom end. An electric motor is disposed within the body and mechanically coupled to the propeller. A power source is disposed within the body and electrically coupled to the electric motor. An activation mechanism is electrically coupled to the electric motor and power source. The activation mechanism may be a launch button or a centrifugal switch. The at least two supports are fins extending outwardly and are configured to induce an autorotation for a controlled descent, either by their shape and design and/or by including a pivotably attached flap.

An inflatable launchable toy system comprising a launcher and an inflatable launchable toy configured to detachably couple to the launcher. The launcher having a launcher handle and a launching elastic. The inflatable launchable toy having an outer fabric layer with an inflatable bladder inside an internal cavity of the outer fabric layer. The inflatable bladder configured to, when inflated, fill the internal cavity of the outer fabric layer and give an intended shape to the inflatable launchable toy. A foam nose cone positioned inside the internal cavity of the outer fabric layer in front of the inflatable bladder. The inflatable launchable toy having a launching strap system coupled to the outer fabric layer, the launching strap system including a launching strap and a launching hook. The launching strap having a first end portion at one end, a second end portion at an opposite end and a middle portion, where the launching hook is coupled to the first end portion of the launching strap, where the second end portion of the launching strap has a strap handle. The inflatable launchable toy configured to detachably couple to the launching elastic through the launching hook.

A thrust ring for a rocket motor for one or more of limited re-use or single use, including a rocket motor housing, the motor housing adapted to contain propellant; an aft closure with a nozzle, the aft closure connected or connectable to the housing; a forward closure connected or connectable to the housing; wherein one or both of the aft closure and the forward closure are connectable to the housing in manner adapted for one or both of limited re-use or single use.
