Our 13-foot USS Kitty Hawk replica launches her planes to the beach in this RapidNadion adventure. Some aircraft never make it off the deck, and others crash into the drink due to Kitty Hawk`s prototype catapult system, but finally, a plane makes it through.
Check out our other Kitty Hawk videos to see how this 13-foot behemoth came together: two "making-of" documentaries, as well as Kitty Hawk`s maiden voyage video, can be found on our channel alongside the three-year-old footage of our smaller carrier model, and much more.

This technique of 3D printing the wing ribs to hold a true aerofoil shape worked out super well! Combined with foam sheets, packing tape and the lightweight wooden spar, it performs amazingly well!
