  2. Model rocket motor classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_rocket_motor...

    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 ...

  3. Thrust curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_curve

    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).

  5. Ejection charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_charge

    Ejection charge (commonly Black Powder), [1] also called expelling charge, is a pyrotechnic composition, a type of a pyrotechnic gas generator designed to produce a small short-term amount of thrust to burst open a container and eject its content. In model rocketry, ejection charges are used to deploy a recovery system (usually parachute or

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_LR-101

    The LR-101 is a fixed thrust, single start vernier thruster developed by Rocketdyne in the mid-to-late fifties and used in the Atlas, Thor and Delta launch vehicles until 1990. Each of these rockets used two LR-101 secondary engines to provide yaw, pitch and roll control during their ascent to space.

  8. Thrust vectoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_vectoring

    A multi-axis thrust vectoring engine nozzle in motion. Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle.

  9. Model rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_rocket

    A model rocket is a small rocket designed to reach low altitudes (e.g., 100–500 m (330–1,640 ft) for a 30 g (1.1 oz) model) and be recovered by a variety of means. According to the United States National Association of Rocketry (NAR) 's Safety Code, [ 1 ] model rockets are constructed out of lightweight and non metallic parts.
