Someone posted about gluing nose cone and fins to an E-engine, I modeled it in OR to see how to make it stable (not too difficult actually). Realized it went almost .5 Mach so became curious -- Is it possible to make a supersonic low-powered rocket??? Simmed an 18mm swift-esque rocket with a Quest D20-4 engine and it seems close... I had to select polished for the finish on all the surfaces so this may not be realistic and I also bet there is a good chance that the fins would sheer off since you cannot use decent tabs on a minimum diameter rocket like this.
Any thoughts on how to break the sound barrier with a low-powered setup?
