The Rocket Racing League officially announced the name of the first X-Racer plane that has been in prototype phase for a few years back in October of last Year
The Rocket Racing League held a contest in which the public, the fans of the Rocket Racing League would be able to vote on the name for the very first Rocket Racing League rocket plane. The name that a man from Maryland came up with was Thunderhawk.
There was over 2000 submissions for names and a panel of RRL judges took that name from a few thousand down to 10 names. They then allowed the public via AOL to vote on what they thought would be the best name for the X-Racer Plane.
The winner, Michael Higgins explained that he came up with the name because “The aircraft, with its rocket propulsion, combines thunderous sound with brilliant flame and light. So I worked up several names focused on thunder and light, and tried to connect those with a bird of prey.”
Cool Stuff.
