Lift Off to New Heights with P4

Who are we?

Pistol Pete's Propulsion Posse is a campus organization open to all students. The student engineering team of about 50 members takes part in the Aerospace Propulsion Outreach Program, a national initiative sponsored by the United States Air Force. The team's mission is to design, modify, and test a 22‑pound‑thrust turbojet engine while working through a structured engineering cycle that includes baseline testing, conceptual and detailed design reviews, and a final design presentation. Students receive hands-on training in engine testing and showcase their completed work at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Through this program, members gain direct experience with propulsion systems, collaborate with knowledgeable mentors, and build valuable skills for future careers in the aerospace industry.

What are we raising funds for?

Pistol Pete's Propulsion Posse is raising funds to support the functioning of our club. This includes professional development, essential materials, and travel to competitions and conferences. At the end of the year, we will travel to Dayton, Ohio, where our student engineering team will present its turbojet design at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Funding will help cover essential travel costs such as transportation, lodging, and meals, ensuring our members can showcase their work, gain hands‑on experience in the aerospace propulsion industry, and represent Oklahoma State University on a national stage.

Thank you for your support!
