  1. Rocket Propulsion

  2. Types of Propulsion Systems • All propulsion systems are driven by an engine • Propeller • Turbine (also called jet) • Ramjet and Scramjet • Rocket

  3. Rocket Propulsion • Produces thrust by ejecting stored matter • Rockets can be classified by propulsion • Liquid • Solid • Electric • Other classifications • Expendable or reusable • Number of stages • Size of payload • Manned or unmanned

  4. Liquid Fuel Rocket • Fuel mixed with oxidizer and burned • Gases escape out nozzle to generate thrust

  5. Solid Fuel Rocket • Fuel burned to generate gases • Gases escape out nozzle to generate thrust

  6. Thrust Equation Derivation

  7. Impulse Equation Derivation

  8. Model Rocket Flight Stages

  9. Model Rocket Engine Design

  10. Model Rocket Engine Performance

  11. Model Rocket Engine Nomenclature Total impulse Code Delay Time (Seconds) B6-4 Average Thrust (Newtons)
