A branch of mechanical engineering that involves the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment.
Four forces affect an airplane while it is flying: weight, thrust, drag and lift.
This is the straw rocket working in video.
Our rocket did not go as far as other rockets, but it was be able to go farther when we applied more pressure into the launcher (straw).
This is the Stomp Rocket working in video.
Although the physical limit for the height the rocket can reach was only 12 feet, thanks to the crazy muscles that Jake has, our group was able to touch the moon with our rocket and break the sound barrier!

Our drone flies and lands on the target based on the color of the target (temperature) by detecting the color below the drone and changing the color of the light of the drone. Blocky code and Color data set (Special thanks to Group 9 for helping us out!)
This is the foam plane in action!
In the video, our group attached the propeller in order to balance the center of the mass and increase the lift and thrust.
The rocket launch did not work. The most likely motive is that the motors were faulty. The ignitors had gone off but the motors never started. They had been left outside previously and most likely got wet.
