Explanations

Our airplane was able to glide slightly because of the increased lift we gave it with the supports. However, as a result of this the overall weight of the plane also increased which resulted in the plane falling fast after reaching maximum heigh(as shown in the videos above). In comparison, our rocket was able to gain considerable speed and height when it launched. However, the nose cone was too tight and this caused the motor to shoot out since the normal force given by the nose cone was greater than the engine force.
