The designation for a specific motor looks like C6-3.In this example, the letter (C) represents the total impulse range of the motor, the number (6) before the dash represents the average thrust in newtons, and the number (3) after the dash represents the delay in seconds from propelling charge burnout to the firing of the ejection charge (a gas generator composition, usually black powder ...

Model rocketry is a safe and widespread hobby. Individuals such as G. Harry Stine and Vernon Estes helped to ensure this by developing and publishing the NAR Model Rocket Safety Codes [1] [13] [14] and by commercially producing safe, professionally designed and manufactured model rocket motors.
In 1962 and 1963 Oldsmobile built a turbocharged version of the 215, designated Turbo-Rocket. The turbocharger fitted to the V8 engine was a small-diameter Garrett T5 model with integral wastegate, manufactured by Garrett AiResearch, and produced a maximum of 5 psi (34 kPa) boost at 2200 rpm. The engine had 10.25:1 compression and a single ...
A thrust curve for a model rocket. A thrust curve, sometimes known as a "performance curve" or "thrust profile" is a graph of the thrust of an engine or motor, (usually a rocket) with respect to time. [1] [2] Most engines do not produce linear thrust (thrust which increases at a constant rate with time).

Black powder rocket propellant is very similar in makeup to old-fashioned gunpowder. The main difference is the presence of a binder, usually dextrin. The commonly used Estes model rocket engines are made with black powder propellant. [2] Black powder propellant must be pressed very tightly in order to function well.
A rocket engine is a reaction engine, producing thrust in accordance with Newton's third law by ejecting reaction mass rearward, usually a high-speed jet of high-temperature gas produced by the combustion of rocket propellants stored inside the rocket. However, non-combusting forms such as cold gas thrusters and nuclear thermal rockets also exist.
