What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?
In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
What would model rocket fuel be described as?
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
What effects does gravity have on model rockets?
It guarantees that no matter how many engines your rocket has, or what direction you launch it, it'll always end up on the ground.
Who invented the model rocket?
He invented the rocket in 1926
What ratios would best represent the ratio of a 1foot tall model rocket to an actual rocket?
To represent the ratio of a 1-foot tall model rocket to an actual rocket, you would typically use a scale ratio. For example, if an actual rocket is 100 feet tall, the scale ratio would be 1:100. This means that for every 1 foot of the model, the actual rocket is 100 feet, effectively illustrating the size difference between the two. Another common way to express this would be to calculate the height ratio, which in this case would be 1 foot (model) to 100 feet (actual).
What are tailfins on a model rocket used for?
To keep the rocket in straight,stable flight.
How long should the body of a model rocket be?
It depends on what type of rocket you are building.
Can you launch a model rocket in Chicago?
no
Is it still considered a model rocket if you build it yourself?
Yes, it is definitely a model rocket if you build it yourself -that's real ingenuity.
How many engines can a rocket hold?
A model rocket usually only holds one engine. The size of the engine and the amount of thrust that you get from varies. Becoming apart of a model rocket organization can help you determine the right engine for your rocket.
What are model rocket engines and what do they do?
Model rocket engines are reproductions of rocket engines that are scaled down to a much smaller size than the real thing. They usually don't do anything and are for display purposes.
Where can I buy a rocket ship?
You can't buy a real rocket ship, but you can make a model.
