The future of long-range air defense is the Terra GLM. Thishypothetical ground launch missile is designed around the latestrocketry and armament technology. Highlights include a next generationramjet engine with a variable intake scoop for hypersonic flight,lightweight and efficient fuel cell technology to power all electronicand electrical components, and a split fin design with an upperstabilizing section and lower flight control surfaces. The ordinancesegment of this mock missile can be adapted for a range of payloads,dependent on the mission and the target.

While the full-scale Terra GLM may not be real (yet!) theEstes GLM model rocket is ready to be flown today! This scale-likemodel missile is loaded with great features that set it apart. The kitis assembled with several pre-finished plastic parts – ramjetstyle nosecone, mid-body tube joiner, detailed fins with simulated(non-functional) steering surfaces, and engine mount components– all molded in military olive drab. The body tubes also comepre-finished in military colors, so no painting is required. Therealistic details don’t end there! The Terra GLM includes asheet of peel-and-stick decals that push the look of this model to thenext level. Simulated access panels, rivet points, roll patternmarkings, and military-style stenciling all contribute to the authenticlook of the finished model rocket.

The Terra GLM is no slouch when launch day comes around,either! This sleek and attractive model can easily reach 875 feet on anEstes C6-5engine. Launching from a smaller field? No problem – just usethe recommended Estes B4-4or B6-4engines for a more modest peak attitude. Engines are held in place witha quick-release engine hook and can quickly and easily be replacedbetween flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the classic orange, 12inch parachute when it deploys at ejection. You’llhave your Terra GLM back in no time, ready to launch and defend theskies once more!
