In part 2, I will be explaining how I plan to get an exosuit up. This will help for Rocket compression and flight stabilization. It will also (obviously) help the suit become stronger.

I first started out with what I would use for strength. I realized that pneumatic cylinders were the best way to go because of their works and that they won't leak liquid. I then went onto 3d modeling. I started out by using On-shape to make some CAD files. After some time, I came out with the realization to have it press down on the forearm.

I kept in mind I still wanted the iconic look of the stabilizers inside. I will probably have the stabilizers made by 3d modeling it then putting it into pepakura, then cutting it from a steel sheet have it made. I can also just 3d print it, bit it will not be very strong. I am going into cutting the forearm rocket launcher which will look like this:

**Schematics shown**

The rockets will be from solid rocket engines and will need to have the flaps pop out. The kydex will stop me from getting extreme burns and the Exhaust repellent will be used to get the exhaust from shooting at me. The servo (there will be 2) will put the mechanism up and down from a servo tester.

Lucky for me I had 2 pneumatic cylinders lying around, so right now, I am in the process of cutting everything.
