In 1980, the US military modified a C-130 transport with 30 solid-fuel rocket motors to land and take off inside a soccer stadium for Operation Credible Sport. Discover the engineering behind this radical rescue concept.

Illustrative 3D reconstruction, no unit markings; the stadium is a generic simulation (not a model of the real venue); speeds, heights, burn times and the rocket-group layout at the tail are illustrative; slow motion in the final shot.

Holy tfs reference
This concept idea is good but needs improvements

claude made this, didn't it

Damn, such an interesting project broke down because it was put together by some idiots
Separatron 1 was originally designed to separate boosters from core stage.
The animations are (finally) improving

Now we have the modern JATO-RATO-ROCKET- JET ASSISTED TAKEOFF
Ooo! JATO! I remember this fondly when I… casually strapped JATO rockets on an A400M. 😅
