    I’ve cut you some footage from the production of Fire Point, including the FP-5 “Flamingo” and the drones of the FP line.

    A special thanks to the subscriber Shredder, who noticed one of the key moments of the plot - the change in the shape of the engine’s connection to the fuselage of the “Flamingo” rocket (it became more streamlined). In addition, the engine gondola itself visually became smaller, and the nozzle also changed, which may indicate that they started using a different engine [previously, they used Soviet/Ukrainian AI-25 or AI-25TL engines].

    ☝️ Back in March of this year, Stillerman said that Fire Point had developed its own two-stage turbojet engine with a low bypass ratio for the FP-5. Its main feature is that it is optimized specifically for low-altitude flights

    As we can see, the latest flights of the “Flamingo” are indeed taking place at very low altitudes.
