AERODYNAMICS DEPARTMENT
The aerodynamics team is responsible for ensuring a safe and controlled flight. Our main objectives are to simulate the flight trajectory accurately before launch and also to modify the rocket to ensure that it is stable enough to fly as expected.
Aerodynamics & Control
Aerodynamics is achieved through many factors, but the most important parts are the rocket fins. It is our team's responsibility to design and manufacture the ideal fin shape that would work best for our rocket. Stability helps bridge the other different teams together as we work closely with structures and propulsion to help combine their designs into a stable rocket, and by being able to predict the flight trajectory, we are able to help the recovery team locate the rocket more easily.
