For the baseline launches, the distance average was 7.465m and .91 seconds and for the height the average was 2.46m The average velocity was 8.213m/sec. The weight for the rocket was .92. The design of the fins likely led to the results.
After baseline launches, the design of the rockets fins were changed many times, the fins were pushed up the barrel and there were numerous changes to the tip of the rocket, such as the material, number of fins, and shape. The main reason for the change of the rocket was because everytime the rocket was changed its height and distance would get smaller. Because of results the rocket design was changed back to its original design, This time the rocket started to do better, but it still needed improvement. …show more content…
The reason the rocket did not go very high was because the day before the contest launches the rocket was altered without having enough time to have a test fly so the results on the distance rocket were not tested as they should have been. The Height rocket on the other hand was built and went quite high, but it was made about a week before the contest launches and it could have been bumped and the fins could have
