Principles of the water rockets
First we will look at the problem of propulsion. How does it all work,
what is the thrust of a water rocket, what can be done to have a greater
or lesser thrust, how to get a greater total impulse, all of these
questions we will try to answer in the
propulsion
page.
Then, it will be interesting to calculate the different parameters of the
flight: altitude, range, peak time. This is what we will find in the page
"the flight"
Finally, for the rocket to hold the performance that we will have
calculated, its flight behavior will have to be as perfect as possible, in
other words, for this rocket to be
stable
on its trajectory. We will therefore examine the factors that influence
this stability and how to regulate them to have an optimal behavior. And
to fully understand this part, the page on the basics of
aerodynamics
will provide some useful notions.
