Vertical Landing Model Rocket

The video tutorial explains the principles of rocket stability, focusing on the concepts of center of mass and center of pressure. It discusses how these principles apply to model rockets and how they can be tested for aerodynamic stability. The tutorial also explores the challenge of designing a model rocket that can reverse its flight direction to land tail-first, similar to reusable rockets by companies like SpaceX. Various design modifications and testing methods are suggested to achieve this goal.

What modifications can be made to a model rocket to ensure it lands vertically?

What is the significance of the rocket's center of mass in its flight stability?

What happens to the center of mass of a rocket as it burns fuel?

How does the center of pressure affect a rocket's flight path?

Explain the role of fins in maintaining a rocket's stability during flight.

Describe an experiment to test a model rocket's aerodynamic stability.

What are some potential challenges when designing a rocket that flies tail first?
