Impulse Calculation of Model Rocket Engines

Abstract

where he teaches graduate level classes in aerodynamics and statistical based experiment design, and supervises doctoral and masters students. His current research areas include use of Design of Experiments(DOE) in wind tunnel force measurement system design, and development of in-flight test methods for use with unmanned aerial vehicles. Landman was jointly appointed as Chief Engineer at the Langley Full-Scale Tunnel (LFST) at NASA Langley until its closing in September 2009. During his 13 year tenure at the LFST, Dr. Landman was responsible for designing force measurement systems and supervising wind tunnel tests on a variety of test articles including aerospace and ground vehicles. Dr. Landman has served as an international consultant for training engineers in DOE as applied to aerospace ground testing.

Horizontal Propulsion Using Model Rocket Engines (Part A)

“…Model rockets have been used as student projects for decades. Many publications [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17] report engineering projects in the same general area. Mathematical and physical aspects of model rocketry are reported in references 18-23.…”
