Q Focus

Top 3 Questions:

1) How many fins are optimal?
2) How many mL of water is optimal?
3) What is the optimal angle of elevation for egg survival?


Answer:

This project could answer my questions through the results of testing of the rocket.

1) 4 fins are optimal because they provide a good amount of stability.

2) For the rocket that I built, which is a light rocket, the optimal amount of water ranges between 550mL and 580mL depending on how far I want it to fly.

3) The optimal angle for egg survival on my rocket designed to lessen the impact from a nose collision, would be 35-40 degrees.
