Does the average sport low power rocket frequently hit maximum velocity BEFORE propellant burn out?
I was just thinking that most low power rockets are pretty short burn times, and even though the spike is in the first fraction of a second, the rest of the burn seems pretty short. So are most of these rockets accelerating right up until propellant burns out and the delay/smoke/coast phase starts?
