Testimonials
Mrs. Debora Speese, Director of STEM, Gwynedd Mercy Academy Elementary
Wow! Favorite station at our STEM night was the rocket launch. Line extended well into the evening and students waited patiently for heir turn to pump and launch. Next year...I’ll buy another for a second station. Excellent quality!

This rocket launcher made for a GREAT birthday party! My 7yo wanted a rocket party instead of a "bounce" party, so we got this for its incredible WOW! factor. My 12 year old assembled the launcher in less that 30 minutes and we were out shooting off rockets in the front yard, backyard, driveway...hallway (not recommended). We had 17 kids making their very own paper rockets and launching them even in wind and rain. The parents were equally as impressed, or maybe even more so. It made for a super cool birthday party, for half the price for twice as many people...and we still have the launcher...and we're still launching!

I'm so excited about this project! I've been spreading the word and I hope it'll generate some excitement! Looking forward to many launches with my kids!!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen. The similar products on the market have always looked like they barely work and there's no way to use anything but their own rockets. Your encouragement for creativity and learning, plus the super simple form factor are awesome... I'm looking forward to getting my nephews into this and you guys really seem to be putting education first and getting kids excited for science.
Who We Are
Rick first designed an Air Rocket Launcher for Make: Magazine in 2008. In 2012, he connected with Keith online to brainstorm some new prototypes. Soon after, Air Rocket Works was born as a small two family company run from California and New Hampshire. We grew even more after a successful Kickstarter campaign (link) in 2014 and nation-wide order to 450 Barnes & Noble stores (link) in 2016. While our focus is heavy-duty launchers for consumers, we’ve also designed and built high-end systems for both NASA and ULA’s educational outreach divisions. We continue to grow and innovate, sharing our love for rocketry with every customer, engineer, hobbyist, student or future astronaut.
