Thrust Profile (N)
0.73s Burn WindowEngineered by Estes Industries, the A8 is a 18mm solid rocket motor designed for model rocketry. As an official A-class motor, it delivers a total impulse of 2.5 Ns over a 0.73 second burn window.
With an average thrust of 3.2 N and a peak of 9.7 N, it features a dual-peak thrust curve optimal for heavy rockets requiring high off-the-pad acceleration. It utilizes the black powder propellant formulation, dictating its specific impulse and exhaust signature.
