Bill Burners

Home State - District of Columbia

Interest in manned rocketry- Starting a rocket-plane company to build and sell jet-rocket plane kits to consumers with a non-cryogenic, environmentally friendly rocket assist VTOL option). Based on revenues from the kit plane business, we will move to more capable tail-sitter jet/rocket planes later. Initial marketing will be to the government via Small Business Innovative Research contracts and to consumers via EAA fly-ins and other air shows. The near-term company goal is a 100% reusable tail-sitter rocket plane capable of providing rides to every EMRAA member. We are looking for investors and people who just want to be  a part of a rocket plane company that will put non-cryogenic, environmentally friendly jet-rocket planes in the hands of consumers within the next couple of years.
