The Rocket Flyer

A Wagon Concept For Young Speedracers
Designed Fall 2012 for DSGN 307: Intro to Industrial Design Methods at Northwestern University

The Rocket Flyer was born from fond childhood memories of long afternoons in the cul-de-sac with the neighboring kids. My Radio Flyer was the trusty steed of my youth, before bikes and sailboats and fast cars eventually took their turn. But why was my trusty steed built like a pickup truck when sometimes I needed a drag racer? The dream was a wagon that could be pulled along or ridden in, and could do both equally well at a moment's notice.

This is the all-purpose wagon I always dreamed about, but grew up too quickly to find: The Rocket Flyer.
