    Overview

    The BT-5 Body Tube provides a dependable foundation for model rocket construction in educational settings. Its lightweight spiral wound paper construction allows students to build rockets that demonstrate key principles of aerodynamics while maintaining durability for repeated launches.

    Designed for Structured Classroom Builds

    Measuring 18 inches in length, each tube can be easily cut to meet specific lesson objectives. Educators can guide students through designing single stage rockets, testing different airframe lengths, or building multi section rockets using tube couplers to connect tubes of the same diameter.

    Ideal for Team Based Learning

    With four body tubes per package, instructors can divide materials among small groups or use them for iterative design challenges. Students can compare results, analyze performance data, and refine their builds using consistent components.

    Compatible and Easy to Integrate

    The BT-5 Body Tube works seamlessly with BT-5 components and the NC-5 nose cone, making it easy to integrate into existing curriculum or structured rocketry programs. It is a reliable choice for educators seeking hands on STEM activities that engage students in real world engineering concepts.

    Glad they made it safe

    Glad they made it safe, the box was pretty rough but the tubes were great. Just recently started getting back into the hobby, been a while. Have put together quite a few kits and I’m starting to get back into building from scratch. Grandkids love them also.

    Neat little mini rockets

    Estes makes a quality tube. I use these to make the 13mm engine mounts and build some neat little mini rockets!
