The Impulse 100 Pocket Rocket is a 2-seat, single-engine experimental light sport aircraft developed by Impulse Aircraft of Germany. The Pocket Rocket is a variation of the standard Impulse 100 that is fitted with a turboprop engine. The unique design of the Impulse 100 makes it both stable at slow speeds and a precision performer at high speeds.

The Impulse 100 Pocket Rocket features a low-wing design, carbon-honeycomb sandwich construction throughout, a standard empennage, and a fixed traditional undercarriage. It has side-by-side seating in its cockpit and a high-visibility bubble canopy. The Pocket Rocket variant of the standard Impulse 100 design has a reinforced airframe to accommodate the additional torque and stresses that the upgraded engine imparts on the aircraft.

The Impulse 100 Pocket Rocket measures 18 feet, 6 inches in length, stands 5 feet, 1 inch tall, and has a wingspan of 26 feet. The aircraft is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop engine that produces up to 680 horsepower and turns a 5-blade, constant-speed, composite propeller. It has a maximum cruise speed of 257 miles per hour, a service ceiling of 18,000 feet above sea level, and a maximum climb rate of 6,200 feet per minute.
