Details

It’s not real, but it certainly looks like it could be! The Terra GLM represents the possible future of military ground launch vehicles. This easy-to-assemble model comes with parts pre-finished in a military color scheme – no sanding or painting required! Build and fly this model in the same day.

The Future of Long-Range Air Defense: Introducing the Terra GLM

The designers hypothetically created the Terra GLM rocket around the latest rocketry and armament technology for ground launch.

Some highlights of this dummy missile are its next-generation ramjet engine, which includes a variable intake scoop for hypersonic flight. Additionally, it utilizes lightweight and efficient fuel cell technology to power all electronic and electrical parts.

Moreover, it also includes a split fin design with an upper stabilizing section and lower flight control surfaces. Additionally, depending on the mission and the target, we can modify the ordinance segment of this missile to contain a variety of payloads.

While the full-scale Terra GLM rocket may not be real (yet)! The Estes GLM model rocket is ready to fly today! This scale-like model missile is loaded with great features that set it apart.

The kit consists of multiple pre-finished plastic parts molded in military olive drab, including a ramjet style nosecone, mid-body tube joiner, detailed fins with simulated steering surfaces, and engine mount components. These assembled parts complete the kit.

The body tubes come pre-finished in military colors so no painting is required. The realistic details don’t end there! The Terra GLM includes a sheet of peel-and-stick decals pushing the look of this model to the next level. Simulated access panels, rivet points, roll pattern markings, and military-style stenciling add to rocket's genuine appearance.

The Terra GLM is no slouch when launch day comes around, either! This sleek and attractive model can easily reach 875 feet on an Estes C6-5 engine. Launching from a smaller field? No problem – just use the suggested Estes B4-4 or B6-4 engines for a more modest peak attitude.

Launch Day: Sleek and Attractive

The Terra GLM is no slouch when launch day comes around, either:

  • Easily reach 875 feet on an Estes C6-5 engine

  • Classic orange, 12-inch parachute deploys at ejection. Thus, you'll have your Terra GLM back in no time, ready to launch and defend the skies once more!

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
