E12-6 Engines

The Estes E12-6 engine is an excellent choice for educators and STEM program leaders looking to introduce advanced rocketry concepts in a hands-on, high-engagement format. This single-stage, high-thrust engine is capable of launching rockets weighing up to 14 ounces, making it suitable for mid- to large-sized classroom builds and advanced group projects. With a 6-second delay, students can observe extended coasting phases and timed recovery system deployments—an ideal setup for teaching aerodynamics, momentum, and flight prediction.

The E12-6 supports curriculum enrichment by offering real-world applications of physics and engineering principles. Its power and long delay allow students to explore advanced flight profiles, such as maximizing altitude before ejection or comparing performance across different body designs. For educators conducting multi-launch days, the E12-6 provides a reliable, repeatable performance across a wide range of rocket types, including Estes Pro Series II models.

Each 2-pack includes two engines, two igniters, and four reusable plugs—everything needed for two complete launches. This packaging makes it easy to integrate into classroom supply kits, activity bundles, or STEM camp materials. Like all Estes engines, the E12-6 is rigorously tested for quality and safety, offering peace of mind during class or group launch events.

Whether you're supporting high school physics labs, after-school rocketry clubs, or competitive STEM teams, the E12-6 offers a powerful and educationally rich experience. It’s a dependable engine for teaching more advanced flight dynamics and supporting student creativity in rocket design and experimentation.
