Question

1. What are Three Things you would build differently if you were to build the rocket again?

2. What are Two Things you could do to improve the flight of your rocket?
3. What practical design advice would you give to future students building a paper rocket for the first time?

Answer 1

1 ; Components. Rockets consist of a propellant, a place to put propellant (such as a propellant tank), and a nozzle.

2; The aerodynamic shape of the nose cone helps prevent air from slowing the rocket. The fins help guide the rocket to fly straight. Finally, the propellant system includes a mixture of fuel and a chemical called an "oxidizer" that gives off oxygen. The fuel and oxidizer burn together to launch the rocket off the ground.

3; At supersonic speeds (faster than the speed of sound), the best shape is a narrower and sharper point. Rockets with a larger diameter have more drag because there is more air being pushed out of the way
