Rocket Design and Testing: A Team Experience in Aeronautics

This project engaged team members in the design, implementation, and testing of a model rocket. Each individual contributed to different components including vehicles, payload, and safety devices through an egg drop challenge. The groups explored the essentials of rocket mechanics, electronics, and aerodynamics, culminating in a hands-on learning experience. Key elements included a visit to the wind tunnel, discussions on engine specifications, and performance predictions aimed at a target altitude of 300 meters. This program fostered teamwork and deepened understanding of aeronautical engineering.

  2. Lets get started!!! • THEORY • DESIGN/ IMPLEMENT • TEST/CONFIRM

  3. Team Work!!!! • Each person was put into individual groups to work on different components of the rocket • The groups were • Vehicles • Payload • Glider

  4. Fun on the run

  5. EGG DROP!!! • DESIGNED, BUILT, AND TESTED EGG DROP SAFETY DEVICES

  6. Astronaut • Mike Foreman

  7. WIND Tunnel VISIT

  8. THE hanger visit

  9. Model rocket project

  10. It’s electric!!! • Electronics package • Battery • Radio Transmitter • GPS Locater • Camera • Pitot tubes • Thermo Coupling Temperature Gauge

  11. Take Flight! • Glider • Total Surface Area: 23.65623 square inches

  12. Design & Analyze & BuILD

  13. Engine Required • Engine Size: F20-4W (EXX-7) • Mass: 140 grams • Impulse: 60.45 N(s)

  14. Detailed Mass Info. • Nose Cone: 81 grams • Payload: 264.4 grams • Booster: 140 grams

  15. Performance Predictions • The velocity of the rocket will be 76.68 m/s • The impulse will be 44.47 N(s) • The goal is to get the rocket 300 meters in the air

  16. All systems go!

  17. Conclusion • In conclusion this program has taught the post members to work as a team. • It was quite an experience to be able to learn about the mechanics that go into designing and building a rocket and theaeronautical concepts that goes into it.

  18. Thank You!!! • Special thanks to: • Jinho Lee • Justin Gray • Jen klettlinger • Tom Benson • Mike Foreman • Giovanna E. Mignosa
