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.

Why do rockets need wings?

because without the wings the plane would be unstable and crash. by:jake tompson


What do you call the wings of the rocket?

Rockets do not have wings.However rockets need a means of stabilization and control, this can be done two ways:thruster controlsfins (this will only work while the rocket is in the atmosphere)With thruster controls the rocket engine thrust may be varied, the rocket engine nozzles may gimbal, or auxiliary thrusters may be used.What you are probably thinking of is the fins, which can be either fixed or movable. But they have no lift and are not wings and as stated above many rockets totally lack any fins.


Do rockets need wings to fly?

No. A purely ballistic rocket, such as an ICBM (think of the WWII "V-2"), follows the curve of a stone tossed up in the air. The engine provides thrust that propels it: when the engine runs out of fuel, the rocket begins to decelerate and eventually falls back to Earth - the only exceptions being those that are fast enough to go into orbit, such as the space shuttle. These missiles (including the Saturn moon mission launchers) only need the tail fins for steering and stability. A cruise missile is designed for horizontal flight, so it uses wings, just like a conventional airplane.

What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?

Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.

What do airplanes and rockets have in common?

Airplanes and rockets are both vehicles designed for travel through the air/space. They both use propulsion systems to generate thrust for movement and wings/fins for stabilization and control. Both airplanes and rockets rely on aerodynamics principles for lift and propulsion.


What makes a rocket go faster circled wings or triangaled wings?

Triangular wings, or delta wings, are generally more effective for rockets compared to circular wings. This is because triangular wings provide better aerodynamic stability and reduced drag at high speeds, which is crucial for rocket performance in the atmosphere. Circular wings, while they might offer some lift, are not as efficient in terms of thrust-to-drag ratio, especially at supersonic speeds. Therefore, triangular wings help rockets achieve faster velocities and improved maneuverability.

What must airplanes and rockets do to fly through the air?

They must have sufficient thrust from their engines and lift from their wings to overcome their weight and the aerodynamic drag forces. Most rockets do not have sufficient wings to lift them but their engines provide a thrust force that is greater than their weight and it keeps pushing them vertically in the air.
