Post by The Webb Schools

Webb’s Bluebird Rocketry team has reached a historic milestone, successfully completing the first static fire of its liquid rocket engine, Cardinal 1, at the Friends of Amateur Rocketry site in the Mojave Desert. With performance exceeding design targets, the engine is now believed to be the most powerful liquid rocket engine ever built and fired by a U.S. high school team. The rigor of the students’ engineering and technical documentation has earned them an invitation to present at the Liquid Propulsion Symposium on January 31, 2026, where they will share their work with leaders in the propulsion field. An extraordinary example of what experiential learning and California-driven innovation can achieve. #BluebirdRocketry #STEMLeadership #ExperientialLearning #Aerospace #CaliforniaInnovation #FutureOfEngineering
