Fuel core grain. The core is either an end burner (low thrust), core burner (high thrust), or a partial core burner (high thrust initially then low thrust as it transitions to end burning).
The size of the engine you put in it.
Model rockets typically do not have constant thrust; instead, their thrust profile varies during the flight. Most solid rocket motors used in model rockets produce thrust that peaks shortly after ignition and then decreases as the fuel is consumed. This means that while the initial thrust may be strong, it diminishes over time until the rocket coast phase begins. Some advanced model rocket motors can provide a more controlled thrust curve, but the majority follow this general pattern.
An unbalanced force on a model rocket occurs when the forces acting on it are not equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a change in motion. For example, if the thrust from the rocket's engines exceeds the combined forces of gravity and air resistance, the rocket will accelerate upwards. Conversely, if drag or weight becomes greater than the thrust, the rocket will decelerate or fall. This principle is fundamental to understanding the rocket's flight dynamics and trajectory.
The A8-3 model rocket engine produces approximately 2.4 pounds of thrust at liftoff. This thrust is generated for a duration of about 3 seconds, allowing the rocket to ascend rapidly before the ejection charge deploys the recovery system.
Enough to lift a small rocket 5-600 feet.
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.
Lift, drag, thrust, and gravity.
Thrust (due to solid or liquid fuel burning)
A model rocket flies through the transformation of chemical energy into kinetic energy. The rocket's engine contains a solid propellant that undergoes combustion, releasing hot gases that create thrust. This thrust propels the rocket upward, converting the stored chemical energy into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. Additionally, some potential energy is gained as the rocket ascends.
A model rocket overcomes its weight by using thrust generated from its rocket engine. When the engine ignites, it expels gas downwards at high speed, creating an upward force according to Newton's third law of motion. If the thrust produced exceeds the rocket's weight, it accelerates upward. Additionally, the design of the rocket, including its aerodynamic shape, helps reduce drag, allowing it to ascend more efficiently.
Thrust, and lots of it. for about $25 bucks @ you're locale hobby store, you can buy a model rocket kit that uses the same basic idea's as nasa's
Thrust, strong and powerfull
