I have been tinkering with Open Rocket recently and it has been quite useful. However, it does not do any calculation of material or construction quality possibilities, right? I have not seen any way for it to indicate that, if I gave a balsa and TP roll enough force to hit mach three, that it would disintegrate.
Right now I am looking at a PML Mystic, 38 inch by 3 inch airframe, and trying to figure out what it would do with the higher end level two motors. PML catalog says it is designed for E-H impulse, and those fins look like they might rip right off with a big J motor! What do you suppose most manufacturers have in mind when they claim to be designing for an impulse range? Altitude, trackability, stability, strength, or what? I would imagine and hope for some combination, but who knows.
