- The missile is launched off a base with an adjustable launch angle

- The airbag is connected to the missile with a tube, and the rapid release of air thrusts the missile
- The harder the bag is smashed, the farther the flight
- The missile teaches the concept of air pressure, thrust, and projectile motion
- If made from soft, large parts, this toy should be safe for all ages 3+
- The missile will be made out of foam
- The base will be made out of molded plastic
- The tube and airbag will be made from malleable plastic
- Main construction costs would be in the molded plastic base and sculpted foam missile
- Construction should be faily simple and easy based on the limited number of moving parts
