For our rocket launch today the rockets blasted off but did not go very far, as they spun around in random directions. The wind was very high today.
The launch went really well, the rockets didn’t fail to launch and there were no issues with the equipment.
What I noticed is that the rockets did not fly straight up. This could be due to the angle of the launcher not being perfectly straight. I also think that the wings played a role in how the rocket moved through the air. I think I could improve this by changing the wings and making sure they are more solid and aligned correctly.
My next steps are to work on my wing designs to make it more stable and I want to also add a lid because this will hopefully help with the Aerodynamics. I will probably use Youtube to do a bit of research on what makes a good rocket wing.
