Fins are used to stabilize a rocket, so that it does not veer off course or tumble. However, most larger rockets do not use fins because of the atmospheric drag they create.
i like to use balsa for fins; paper tubes for the body and balsa or plastic for the nose.
because without the wings the plane would be unstable and crash. by:jake tompson
The size of fins required for stability on a rocket depends on factors like the rocket size, speed, and desired stability. Generally, larger and more streamlined rockets may require smaller fins, while smaller and less streamlined rockets may need larger fins for stability. It's important to consider the rocket's center of gravity and center of pressure when determining the right fin size for stability. Testing and experimentation are often needed to find the optimal fin size for a specific rocket design.
shrimps don't really have either. They certainly dont have scales. You could call some of the paddle like structurs in pelagic shrimp 'fins' but i probably wouldnt.
Fish use their fins for propulsion (to push them along in the water) and like boat rudders to guide their movement. Also, many fins are bony and sharp and provide a degree of defense against predators.
Because if we didn't have rockets there would be no such thing as rockets and we need them because the word "Rockets" sounds like pockets and we like words that rhyme don't we.
Technically no, but the sides of their body act like fins.
Yes, fish use side fins as oars. Their tailfins act like rudders. They are like ships--they can't make tight turns, but can make wide turns.
I like fins... mmm fins
Missiles fly by using onboard propulsion systems, such as rockets or jet engines, to generate thrust and propel them forward. The missiles are guided in flight by control surfaces like fins or canards, which adjust the missile's trajectory and keep it on course. Additionally, some missiles may use sensors and guidance systems to track and home in on their target.
Not really the shape, but things like large fins or wings can be knocked off in hard landings.
the tail's for power and i think the fins are for like steering
