Model Rocket Design And Construction

Instructions on turning design concepts into unique and exciting model rockets that work. Shows how to safely design, build, launch, fly, and recover sport model rockets. Includes tips and techniques for aeronautics, rocket safety, building materials, and more.

This National Association of Rocketry handbook covers designing and building your first model rocket to launching and recovery techniques, and setting up a launch area for competition.

Plans, diagrams, schematics, and lists of parts and tools for model rocket projects.

International conspiracy funded by unimaginable wealth and influence detected and destroyed by one determined man operating on the edge of accountability.

Contains 69 innovative home and classroom rocketry projects designed specifically with science fair competitions in mind.

Make: High-Power Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with an overview of mid- and high-power rocketry, readers will start out making rockets with F and G engines, and move on up to H engines.

This book teaches the reader to build rockets--powered by compressed air, water, and solid propellant--with the maximum possible fun, safety, and educational experience. Make: Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with the basics of rocket propulsion, readers will start out making rockets made from stuff lying around the house, and then move on up to air-, water-, and solid propellant-powered rockets. Most of the rockets in the book can be built from parts in the Estes Designer Special kit.
