Take your classroom outside and run quantitative projectile motion experiments on a football field scale!

Engaging, safe, and easy to use, the Precision Air-Powered Projectile will launch consistently time and time again. The built-in regulator and slide valve allow you to launch on command at the desired pressure every time. The innovative slide valve and tubing make it easy to engage the rocket while the operator is at a safe distance. With the safety lockout clip and pressure release valve, you can rest assured that the rocket will only launch when desired. Angle adjustments are made easy with the integrated protractor, and the solid base is readily secured to minimize the effect of recoil. The Precision Air-Powered Projectile is designed to promote safe procedures for your students. It’s THE fun, engaging, and safety-conscious system for investigating projectile motion! Look no further for the best air-powered projectile launching system available! The Precision-Air-Powered Projectile is a great leap forward for both consistency and safety.

Why Teachers Love It

• Lab-Ready – Perfect for measuring range, time of flight, and height in AP Physics, Honors, or conceptual courses.
• Highly Repeatable – The built-in pressure regulator ensures the same launch pressure every time, so your data stays clean and consistent.
• Built to Last – Durable aluminum pressure system with replaceable rockets for years of use.
• Safe and Controlled – Launch from a safe distance using the 2-meter pneumatic tube and slide valve. The built-in safety release prevents over-pressurization and allows manual depressurization. The bright red rocket body is easy to see – a must whenever objects are flying through the air in the name of science.

What Can You Teach with the Precision Air-Powered Projectile?

This isn’t just a cool demo — it’s a full-blown teaching powerhouse for projectile motion concepts:

• Vertical Free Fall & Gravity: Measure the rocket’s vertical motion to calculate free-fall acceleration and see how gravity influences motion over time.
• Horizontal Motion & Vectors: Analyze horizontal motion separately and use vector decomposition to connect real launches with 2D kinematics concepts.
• Predicting Range Using Kinematic Equations: Known launch height and velocity allow students to calculate the theoretical range and compare it to actual results.
• Data Collection with Timers and Distance Measurement: Use a stopwatch, trundle wheel, measuring tape, or smartphone slow-motion video to accurately record flight time and distance for analysis.
