  1. Boeing v. 2 Boeing v.2 Aerospacing Brett Carlson Justin Taylor Emily Titus

  2. Contents • Outline • What is a Rocket • Usage and History of the Rocket • Parts • Design • Orientation • Intentions • Introduction • Problem • Analysis • Results • Conclusion • Thank You

  3. Outline • Teach you about our rocket • Tell you our results • Problems • Learn about aerospace

  4. What is a Rocket • Third Law of Motion • Engines use fuel for propulsion • Does NOT need air (jet engines do) Saturn V

  5. Usage and History of the Rocket • Fireworks in China in 1200s • Made into military rockets in the next 700 years • Saturn V was a rocket that put men on the moon • Used to destroy satellites in space

  6. Why we Picked the parts • Elliptical is more aerodynamic the trapezoidal because there is no strait edges • 4 fins is the best stability, any other way is undistributed weight for the fins • Longer nose to be more aerodynamic • Horizantal • Shorter Body is less weight • Distance • Longer body means better stability

  7. Design Nose Elliptical Fin Body

  8. Orientation Saturn V

  9. Intentions • Reach the highest altitude with our vertical rocket • Reach the longest distance with our horizontal rocket • Summarize what we did in a Technical Paper • Have fun while building the prototypes of a real rocket • Make a killer presentation!

  10. Introduction • Aerospace: To design, analyze, model, simulate, and test aircrafts, space crafts, satellites, missiles, and rockets • NasaRocket Modeler • Best Rocket out of restrictions • Use design for better Rockets

  11. Problem • Build a proto-type of a rocket that goes to Mars • Successfully build a rocket that launches • Restricted and feeble materials • Build a rocket to go higher that 135 feet • Build a rocket to go further than 235 feet • 4 Days • Stability of the rocket • Weather

  12. Analysis • Used glue to harden the feeble paper body and nose • Had to find a way to secure the brittle balsa wood fins to the rocket • Used modeler to successfully launch simulated rockets farther than our goals

  13. Results The rockets will go as far as the simulator (Simulated Results) 9 foot range in the results 136.8 foot average 7 foot range in the results 240.6 foot average

  14. Conclusion • Our rocket will win • Rocket will go as far as the simulator • Real rocket will make it to Mars • The design could have some improvement
