COFFMAN SPECIALTIES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY: Marty and Jeff Coffman
Their company installed extension rails at the China Lake Rocket Sled Test Facility in California, so they understand what needs to be done and they know to do it. They even had to bring in their own water.
ERIC LASKEY: The chief engineer at China Lake. He and his team have provided us with a lot of answers to many issues concerning the track and the rocket sleds. Their facility sent a sled down their 4-mile- long track at 4,400 mph and another sled with a load in excess of 137,000 lbs.
HOFFMAN AIR BASE ROCKET SLED TEST FACILITY: They have a track 10 miles in length where they sent a sled down at 6,600 mph. They also confirmed that we can use 2 sleds at one time which they call tandem sledding.

They can launch a 100,000 lb. plane at 150 mph in just 300 ft.
