Nice to meet you.
We are currently using a simulator to develop a small rocket that can reach an altitude of several kilometers.
At this time, we are having trouble knowing how much acceleration and dynamic pressure we should limit in order not to destroy the fuselage and on-board sensors.
According to data on large rockets, it is common to set the acceleration to 4G or less and the dynamic pressure to 50kPa.
This is to protect the passengers and the expensive and sensitive payload.
Also, from the standpoint of efficiency, it is normal to reduce thrust and accelerate slowly while atmospheric density is high.
However, small rockets do not seem to care much about such conditions when compared to large rockets.
In fact, calculations using a simulator show that the speed increases rapidly and exceeds 4G and 50kPa due to the light weight of the vehicle.
If anyone knows of a document that describes the standards for small rockets, I would be very happy to hear from you.
Thank you in advance.
