Ken,
The O 25,000 is fired in clusters of 14 at time to accelerate a device to very
high velocity. Drag is not an issue. We certified it for HPR use for fun, just
like Pro150 series which were not intended for rockets either. If you want an
"efficient" motor that goes into "space" we make those too.
