Through The Wall (TTW)

An HPR fin attachment technique which provides much greater strength than the typical surface mount used in model rocketry. To use TTW, slots are cut in the body tube where the fins mount and the fins are built with extended tabs on the root edge which fit through these slots. In one form of TTW, the tabs are short and just provide a surface to build up epoxy fillets on the inside as well as the outside. In a stronger version of TTW, the tabs reach all the way to the motor tube where they are glued forming a very rigid box structure (also known as TTW-GTMT for "Glued To the Motor Tube).
