Hello everyone, hope everyone's doing good! So today finally came the day to start thinking and designing the parachute for my rocket. First of all some details, It is a 140cm high rocket roughly weighing 2kg, We are expecting it to reach an apogee of 800m and a velocity of 0.5 mach. So here are my questions -
- Should I make it out of stock nylon, because I already have it?
- What size should I prefer, 48inch or 24inch?
- Which config would be good for better performace? circular/hexagonal and which would be easy to make?
- Should there be a hole in middle?
- What to use for parachute line?
- Should I use some special kind of thread for sewing or ordinary polyester sewing thread? Can I do it on a normal sewing machine?
