An economical means to realize large rockets, following the bunching principle and based on a theory by Johannes Winkler, is discussed. It is shown that undivided rockets have a limited action radius of about 500 km. This limit can be extended with multistage rockets whose realizability is not proven. Realized and realizable rockets of intermediate size, consisting of a large number of similar rockets, were studied. A characteristic number is given, leading to approaches to an appropriate rocket construction. Rockets are listed with their characteristic numbers.
