Design Challenges



Design Upgrades

CANARDS
Difficulty:
  • Add little fins to the fuselage.
  • These improve aerodynamic stability and increase control during flight.
AERODYNAMIC SHAPING
Difficulty:
  • Make the nosecone more pointed instead of flat.
  • At supersonic speeds (faster than the speed of sound), a pointed shape performs best.
TRIPLE-ENGINE BOOSTER
Difficulty:
  • Convert your rocket to a triple-engine booster
SECOND ENGINE STAGE
Difficulty:
  • Add an entire new stage to make a multi-stage rocket
