Thanks Fabio

Interesting design. from the pics you've posted
and the others found elsewhere, your pic is the
only Meteor with a rocket-assist pack. I saw a
pic with a steam catapult, and what appeared to
be some high tension spring system. As noted by
another poster, some of them had props to big for
the skid position. This pic with the RATO looks
just about right for recovery without *too much*
damage.

I worked with drone contractors at 35mm, 40mm, Blowpipe, Javelin and
ADATS firings. All had two-bladed airscrews. The modus operandi was to
fly them until they ran out of fuel and when the prop stopped, it would
be in a horizontal position, and they would belly-land on either grass or
snow. Props were often damaged, typically when a launch went wrong, but
easily replaced.
