On
the first Wednesday in October, the rocketry team meet to work on
rocket designs and plans.
The
diagram on the right shows possible fin designs. A big decision is
over the number of fins - 3 or 4.
The diagram at the left shows a design
of a wind tunnel. We want to look at the rocket drag because we know
it affects the altitude of rockets greatly. We want to test relative
drag without flying an using expensive motors. |
