BT-60 Body Tubes (3 pk)

The Estes BT-60 Body Tube is a reliable building block for educators who want to bring engineering concepts to life through model rocketry. Its larger diameter makes it easy for students to handle during assembly while offering ample space for creative design elements and payload experiments.

Designed for Hands On STEM Learning

Constructed from high quality spiral wound paper, each 18 inch tube delivers the strength needed for classroom launches and repeated recovery cycles. Students can explore concepts such as stability, center of gravity, drag, and structural design while working with a durable and consistent airframe component.

Flexible for Custom Projects

The BT-60 specification allows teachers to integrate these tubes into a wide range of lesson plans, from basic rocket construction to advanced design challenges. Tube couplers can be used to connect multiple tubes of the same diameter, giving students the opportunity to test extended airframes or payload carrying configurations.

Efficient for Group Builds

With three tubes included in each package, educators can streamline preparation for small group activities or maintain extra inventory for repairs and future classes. Pair with NC-60 nose cones and other compatible components to create structured, standards aligned rocket projects that engage students from build day to launch day.
