Hello Everyone,
My question for the day is "How fast is too fast for a cardboard rocket with a plastic nosecone?"
A few days ago I was running openrocket on my Big Nuke and I was curious, How big of a 54mm motor can I put in this rocket?
Questions isn't how big of a 54mm load I can afford, but how big of a motor can a cardboard rocket handle before it shreds in mid air.
I put in the sim a K1440 and a warning came up,
"body calculations may not be entirely accurate at supersonic speeds" :y:
After thinking about how cool it would be to send my 9 pound rocket to 6000ft at Mach 1.31 at top speed, "would it shred?" came to my mind.
So many my question shouldn't be How fast is too fast, but How fast can you go before it shreds in to many pieces. :clap:
Your thoughts are welcome.. horror story are welcome as well. op:
