I presume you actually mean spin. A spiral (think DNA helix shape) would actually increase the distance the bottle travels and would in fact shorten the flight.
Unfortunately this is an almost impossible experiment. Conceptually the spin should allow the soda bottle to remain in a more stable trajectory, however, with uneven thrust, wind activity and poor launch facilities you rarely get what you expect.
The second you stabilize the flight with fins that either keep it straight or impart a spin motion you've moved beyond soda bottle into rocket (albeit ugly rocket) mode.
Bottom line a stable flight path will maximize the distance traveled for a given amount of thrust.
Yes this is Rocket Science!
soda bottle rocket, niglet.
To make a soda bottle rocket, you will need a 2-liter soda bottle, a cork, a bike pump, water, and a launch pad. Fill one-third of the bottle with water, attach a cork to the opening, and place the rocket on the launch pad. Pump air into the bottle using the bike pump, quickly remove the cork, and watch it soar!

Baking soda and vinegar are commonly used in bottle rockets to create a chemical reaction that produces gas, propelling the rocket into the air.
by water being placed into the bottle and then, when you launch your rocket, the rocket will spin (if it has at least 2 fins) and the water will spurt out and make the rocket go higher in the air. (Tip:the more it spins,the higher it will fly)
Check out this article on Water-Rockets.com that describes a simple soda-bottle rocket with parachute recovery system: http://www.water-rockets.com/article.pl?101 The article include photos and a video showing the rocket in action. Good luck!
put vinegar and baking soda into a bottle, then put the cork in quickly, and the cork will go flying out along with a lot of fizz and bubbles
It is not recommended to use another type of liquid for a bottle rocket besides water. Water is the safest and most commonly used liquid for bottle rockets as it provides the necessary weight and propulsion for the rocket to launch. Using other liquids could be dangerous or ineffective.
err, yes, because: bottle mass + soda mass > bottle mass
The difference between the taste of can soda and bottle soda is in my opinion a can soda has less aside then a bottle soda. In a can soda you taste more aside then in a bottle of soda. A bottle of soda only taste good at when you begin to drink it and if you leave it for an hour later the taste goes away and the soda taste sweet. In a can soda you could leave it in a fridge for an hour and when you finish drinking it taste the same.
I think if you change the baking soda the rocket will explode higher
For a 2.5-liter soda bottle water rocket, it's generally recommended to fill the bottle with water to about one-third of its capacity, which is approximately 0.8 liters (or 800 milliliters). This allows enough water to generate thrust while leaving sufficient air space for pressurization. Adjustments can be made based on specific design or performance goals, but one-third is a good starting point.
