Also the MPC Star Trek rockets comes to mind.
I also am nervous about that. And, pretty much everything else about building and flying this thing...I would be nervous about the whole thing surviving a landing
.... The whole thing is clearly too stubby .....
I was just talking proportions and aesthetics, not evaluating its flightworthiness or verisimilitude.Say what? The less a rocket looks like a rocket... the better. Once you're beyond the surly bonds of gravity center of pressure isn't a concern. So for space travel... stubby is fine.
Verisimilitude definition, the appearance or semblance of truth; likelihood; probability: The play lacked verisimilitude.I was just talking proportions and aesthetics, not evaluating its flightworthiness or verisimilitude.
I dunno, I have a hard time wrapping my arms around "ineffable".verisimilitude, in deed. How do you feel about "ineffable"?
The word's probably coming to mind because I watched the miniseries about a month ago. I quite enjoyed it.if you like that word you should read Good Omens
I too would like to see experimental data. I have some RockSim 9 results. I'm working on upgrading to RS 10, but it's a PITA with one's PC off line (and the instructions Apogee sent me didn't work).I've got this notion that you can estimate the CP contribution of rounded objects (like pods or even the main rocket body) by assuming they have about half the contribution of a flat plate of the same plan area. I'd like to validate that against some real experimental data at some point...
