Greetings everyone, I'm incredibly new to model rocketry and I lack lots of knowledge and experience. I am part of a project group in my university and we are trying to design a rocket.
Rocket is for a rocket design contest. Our rocket design have 10cm diameter that fits to our expected rocket flight aim. But now we are worried about parachute packing.
For the required parachute that fits to our weight and fall rate, research on internet showed us most of the packings in internet shared packing size between 11cm-20cm in diameter, of course varies in lenght in terms of packing volume. We would like to know if it is possible to pack thinner but longer so that it would fit to our 10cm diameter rocket.
Thank you in advance.
