rocket cars
Jet-propelled dragsters
Rocket cars are vehicles propelled by rocket engines rather than conventional motors.
The term covers both land speed record vehicles—streamlined machines designed to break speed barriers on salt flats—and the toy variety: small plastic cars powered by air pressure or baking soda reactions.
The rocket car hit 600 miles per hour before deploying its parachute.
