@saltyfish1234 3 года назад

Hi, I would just like to mention that after the engine burns, the weight is still shifted a bit because the propellant in the engine burns away as it is being fired. Hope this helps a little bit!

At 10:34 you say: " Even though we had more than twice the thrust, we didn't have twice the speed" and you wouldn't have. There are several factors, but the main one is that the drag quadruples when the speed doubles (Fd=0,5*ro*V^2 *S*Cd), so if all of the other factors would be omitted you should only go about 40% quicker.

General.E.Shady YT it please and give channel

@nathank7989 3 года назад

Exactly. Once you exceed the pitch speed of the EDFs (compensated for the intake), they're just adding drag. A folding propeller is definitely the way to go, and cut the throttle and let it fold before lighting the rockets.

@danweecc 3 года назад

I suspect the GPS is only giving you ground speed - which is only accurate if you were flying horizontally. It looks like in the initial phase, you were flying with a high incline so the actual speed would have been more than the ground speed. If you flew straight up, the GPS would record a very low lateral speed.

@danweecc 3 года назад

@@TheKamiBunny To get velocity, you'll have to integrate the acceleration over time which introduces a lot of errors due to the noise from the accelerometers. In theory yes, in practice this won't work well. If you mean getting the angle of incline - then you'll need some sort of angle estimation, which could work (assuming you include gyros) but due to latency in the process, the computation might be more complex than possible for a cheap small device like that.

On a short span (low aspect ratio) plane a rudder does not do much for better curve coordination. The aerodynamics of this design are pretty crude and the wing loading is high. That's the reason for the poor gliding performance.

Here’s a quick tip- drag can easily be lowered by increasing the angle of the wings. This does lower lift, but at the thrust to weight ratio that you have it should not be too big of an issue. You could also look into specialised aerofoils if you want to pull as much speed out of this plane as possible.

Motor was on a nacelle under the nose.The thrust swung the wings back into a delta configuration and after the motor ejected it lightened the nose enough to pitch up as a rubber band pulled the wings out like an F-14. From there it glided back down unguided to a soft low speed landing. Crude but fun!

I built one 42 years ago. The small wings caused the rocket to spiral in a large circle. I USED C-6 ENGINE. It would glide down after engine burn. I also made the first drag racer using B and C engines depending on the distance available. I would use 10 pound fishing line as the guild. If no guild was used the drag racer would run wild. I used a 2x4 and cut it down and added free wheels on steel axels drilled through the 2x4. Used eyelet screws as guild also tried rocket tube guilds.

Move front wings back to increase lift. It will be more difficult to fly but that's not what those motors were designed for. Nowadays with all the technology right at your fingertips, sometimes it just takes trial and error to get the best results. You could also use zero delay motors and stage them so the D's fire while in the air. You could also launch directly vertical which should increase your flight time ( if you could control it!).

@guerrillaradio9953 3 года назад

Looks like the 60s Dyna-Soar prototype! Remember that there's a significant vertical component to your actual airspeed, not only the speed scrubbed by a high takeoff angle; those simple GPS units only measure your speed parallel to the ground. Think of it like a 30 60 90 triangle with the shortest side against the ground. That is the only side of the triangle the GPS you have measured, which if used on an R/C car is completely fine. However, your airspeed was most likely MUCH higher than that! You need a combo GPS/altimeter with a fast refresh rate (like a Pixhawk 4 or better ~$200) to track your flight path in 3 dimensions with respect to time. Pixhawk also has pitot tubes and modules, although the're likely a bit heavy for that. Awesome stuff, though!

@komitadjie 3 года назад

Something to keep in mind, a GPS speedometer like that does very poorly measuring instantaneous velocity. You might have ended up considerably faster at the end of the boost phase than your speedometer indicated, just because the distance-and-time measurements might well have checked both sides of the peak.

The two stage ideas others mentioned is decent, but you’d still be using up a stage to overcome inertia at liftoff.

Stack two or three in line the kind that don't have the parachute blast charge they burn through into the other engine and ignite that one

Want to go fast? Add a large core-burner* in the middle and set it to ignite one second into the flight. The wings had better be attached well or you _will_ rip them off. *The engines you are using are end-burners. Core burners have much less burn time but massively more thrust, that's why you delay ignition until the rocket/plane is underway. I've not only torn fins off but had rockets just tear themselves apart from too much thrust from a standing start.

My father bought me a sr71 model rocket when I was really young. At launch it flew about 15' strait up then turned 90° and flew horizontal above everyone's head. I thought it was the coolest thing ever but my dad thought it was a type of failure.... I still think it did exactly what I wanted it to do.
