What is the maximum model rocket engine that can be used close to an airport?
It isn't the size of the engine so much as the distance from the airport. You should not launch a model rocket anywhere within 15 miles of an airport. Larger rockets do, of course, pose a greater risk to aircraft, so if you are launching a G or higher engine, make sure you contact the nearest airport to verify that you are launching, and to keep planes clear of the area.
What would model rocket fuel be described as?
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
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.
Who invented the model rocket?
He invented the rocket in 1926
What effect will the wind have on the way a rocket is launched?
Wind is a major factor when it comes to launching model rockets. Wind can cause your rocket to go up at an angle or tip over. Wind also effects the recovery/descent process. Wind can blow your rocket very far after the recovery system is deployed (if its a parachute. To reduce the distance of gliding, I'd recommend that you cut a hole in the middle of the parachute.
What materials are needed for rocket launching?
I dont know if you are asking about a real one, but if so, then contact NASA, they might be able to give you he complete description.Here is a little model, Just to have fun with Science!Building and Launching a Model RocketChildren build and decorate a model rocket using oak-tag poster board for the rocket body, nose cone, and fins. A 35-mm film canister, which will later be filled with a fuel mixture of baking soda and vinegar, is the rocket's engine. The children launch their rockets.What's the Point?Different shapes and sizes of rocket nose cones, body, and fins alter the characteristics of a rocket's flight.A force must be exerted for a rocket to lift off from a launch pad.The motion of the rocket is equal to, and in the opposite direction of, the thrust of the rocket's engine.The greater the mass of the rocket, the greater the amount of thrust needed to launch the rocket.Given a fixed amount of thrust, the distance a rocket travels decreases at its mass increases.MaterialsOak-tag poster board (8 A- 10 sheets)Rocket cutout pattern guidePlastic 35-mm film canisters (Fuji Film© canisters are recommended)Cellophane tapeScissorsColored markersDecorative stickersPlastic picnic spoons (or a set of measuring spoons)Baking sodaVinegarOptional: Alka-Seltzer and water (can be substituted for baking soda and vinegar)Paper towelsEye protectionActivity1. Have the children gather all the items needed to construct their model rockets.
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.
Where can I buy a rocket ship?
You can't buy a real rocket ship, but you can make a model.
