To design the best rocket
using the given materials
to guarantee extraordinary
flight, reusability, and
great aesthetics.
 Always made sure that everything went
smoothly, and gave a lot of major opinions.
 Co-wrote the report
 Did a lot of the hands on work (i.e. sanded
the fins) and co-wrote the final report.
 Civil Engineering Major
 Gave opinion, co-wrote powerpoint
 Materials Engineering
 Helped the team with fundamental design

and did all major calculations.

 General Engineering Major (Leaning towards
Mechanical or Materials)
 General opinions and co-wrote the

presentation. Also kept team on track.

For the main body tube: A
carbon/Kevlar Hybrid
For the fins: Carbon Fiber
 1.) Deliberation and Calculations
◦ Which design would work best?
◦ Which materials are worth the cost because of the
height it will produce and its reusability
 2.) Construction of the Body Tube
 3.) Construction of the Fins
 4.) Construction of the Engine
Max Height(m) 189.2678099 If we want optimal weight, we have to
make our fins and tube weigh a total
Coresponding 57.2
of 11 grams. Any after that will affect
weight(g) the max height exponentially.

 Acetone works wonders.
 Always check your measurements.
 Don’t trust the grad students.
 Weight matters. (Even 1/3 ounce

can make a difference)

 The forward swept wing design

helped in many aspects.

 Feel free to ask us any questions about our
logic or design =)
