Aerospace engineering is an emerging field that involves careful design and precision. When creating rockets, all things need to be taken into account. Simulations often do not include wind or human error in their assembly. This was seen in the countless unstable rockets and times that they didn't launch. It is necessary to double check all of your work and ensure that your rocket is stable. Each fin needs to be carefully designed and crafted because it has serious effects. On top of that, it is necessary to look at the weight of the rocket and the strength of the engine. If all things are right, you will have a successful rocket.
We launched our rocket 5 times. The first time, the wires were connected so it didn't launch at all. The second time, the rocket was too heavy so it didn't launch very high. The third time, we emptied the body and it resulted in an excellent launch. The fourth time we launched the remains of the rocket which didn't launch because the wires on the igniter were set up incorrectly. The fifth and final time, it was properly launched and was our best flight.
The plane was a hair disappointing. Its propeller felt ineffective and the toss was what gave it most of the distance. This is caused by poor materials and a lack of planning and a poorly designed plane, which was not our fault. Better materials likely would have increased the effectiveness of the plane.
