You can use a set of formulas called the Barrowman equations o get the center of pressure. There are software programs that can automate this and also calcualate the drag.

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.
Why is the body of a rocket need to be long?
The body of a rocket needs to be long because it helps with the propulsion of the object. It is strictly to help with aerodynamics.
What do rocket fins do on a rocket?
the fin keeps the rocket stable while the rocket flys.hope that helps! POKECARP out
How will you reduce drag forces in your bottle rocket?
the aerodynamics of the bottle can be increased or the bottle can be smoothened on all the sides therby increasing the aerodynamics therby decreasing the drag of the vehicle
Does the aerodynamics affect the flight of a rocket?
Of course. Your construction and fin alignment must be as near perfect as you can make it.
Does the length of a model rocket affect its distance?
It can. The design of the fuselage could affect the range: a long fuselage may be less rigid and so reduce the range. However, the fuselage needs to contain all the fuel and if the fuselage is too short the model may not contain much fuel. Alternatively, the fuselage will be short and squat which will reduce its aerodynamics and the increased drag will reduce the range.

How can i test my model rockets aerodynamics?
An easy way to test the general airworthiness of a rocket design is to tie a string around the middle of the rocket so it hangs "balanced". Then swing the rocket around your head in a big circle (kinda like twirling a lasso). If it's aerodynamically stable, the "nose" should always remain pointed "forward" as it goes around in a big circle.
Why is th tip of the rocket made pointer?
The tip of a rocket is pointy to increase aerodynamics and reduces drag. For example, if a rocket had a flat end, it would create more drag and slow the rocket down. It's also the same for planes too.
How do you make a homemade solid fuel rocket?
You don't. All of the major motor producers have had accidents where lives were lost. Do you think you can be safer than Aerotech, Estes, etc.? Focus on the aerodynamics of model rockets. You'll have more fun that way.
What would model rocket fuel be described as?
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
