What are the most important properties of rockets?
Engines
Are rockets and jet engines the same?
No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.
What are d type of rockets?
All rockets use the same fuel and US has used the same platform for ages. If you mean model rockets, D engines are the most powerful.
Is it possible to make space travel much faster?
Yes ... but not with chemical engines - we need ion rockets - or perhaps nuclear engines.
What is mean by air breathers?
Air breathers are engines that breath air as opposed to rockets which do not.
What did Robert goddard attach to rockets to make them more efficient?
Internal Combustion Engines.
Why do rockets engines in space have to carry their own oxygen?
Fire needs oxygen in order to burn, and there is no oxygen in space, so rockets must take oxygen with them.
Why don't rockets have wings?
Some rockets do have wings. Then again if the rocket operates in space, wings won't do any good. Most big rockets have control systems that swivel their main engines to balance the rocket.
How do you steer rockets?
Rockets are steered by various means, such as tilting the main engines, moving fins, and firing reaction thrusters. This is usually done fully automatically, by computer.
Are rockets engines made with magnet material to reduce vibration at launch?
No. Why would you think so?
Which is the fuel used in rocket engines?
It is hydrogen and oxygen, these two gases are mainly used in rockets
Why do rockets take off?
Rockets take off to carry things (called payloads) into space. Do you mean 'how' do rockets take off, or how do rockets work?
