Abstract
A combustible rocket is constructed with a laminate which comprises high tensile strength metal foils, easily combustible metal foils, and easily combustible adhesive layers. The rocket has sufficient mechanical strength and its shell can be gasified or disintegrated into finely divided pieces after the propellant of the rocket has burnt out at high altitudes. This rocket can be launched safely even in the vicinity of population centers without risk of injury to living things.
