Do rockets have wing?

A rocket is a form of propulsion. If a rocket is used to power an airplane, it is referred to as a rocket-plane, and has wings like an airplane. It the rocket is use to propel a vehicle vertically, which does not need wicgs to provide lift, it is called simply a rocket. Sometimes fins are used to stabilize or guide a rocket in flight, but these are referred to as fins rather than wings.


How does a rocket propel?

What does a rocket do when it takes off?

It fly's through the air using the fire to push down on the earth and propel it self forward or Fuel and oxidizer are first injected into a nozzle ( first a converging section, then the throat, and finally diverging section), and a thrust proportional to the mass flow rate, exit velocity, exit pressure, and ambient pressure is exerted on the rocket. The rocket will generally have a inertial navigation system on board to acquire position and attitude data. This data will be used as input in a correctional system to keep the rocket on track. Many rockets are used to transport cargo to space, while some are used to carry weapons in their payload space.

What is a engine used on a spaceship?

There are actually two types of boosters that were both used by the space shuttle before their decommission. To propel the vehicle out into space from the surface of the earth out past the atmosphere, the shuttle used SRB's, or Solid Rocket Boosters. The engines on the actual shuttle are LRB's, or Liquid Rocket Boosters. These are used to propel the space vehicle further into space and into orbit around the earth.
