Can a nose cone increase the flight time of a rocket?
It averaged only 3.01 seconds, which was the worst of the four rockets. In conclusion adding the parabola, cone, and hemisphere shaped nose cones all proved to increase the flight time of the rockets compared to the control rocket with no nose cone. If I were to do this project again, I would have tested more types of nose cones.
Which is better rocket a or rocket B?
Notice also that for rocket A as you increase the nozzle size, the optimum amount of water slightly decreases for very little gain in altitude. Large nozzles mean higher acceleration but also higher drag. For rocket B though, you get higher performance as you increase the nozzle size and the optimum water amount also increases.
Which is the rocket with the least time in the air?
The rocket with the least time in the air was the control with no nose cone. It had an average of 3.01 seconds. This experiment proved that adding any type of nose cone to a rocket is better that not having one at all. The rocket launches at a very high rate of speed.
How are water rockets different from air rockets?
Air on the other hand can store lots of energy when pressurised but is not very heavy and therefore doesn’t work well as a reactive mass. In a water rocket the air provides the stored energy and the water provides the reactive mass.
What’s the difference between A B and C engine rockets?
Outta Sight! The C engines really kicks it up a notch compared to B’s. At this level the rocket flies out of my visual range, but it does emit a trail of smoke before ejecting the parachute. At this level I can’t tell the difference between C6-3 or C6-5, which has a longer delay before ejecting the parachute.

When to use a delay on a rocket?
Bottom line- you want to use the delay length that allows your rocket to slow down from the power phase before ejecting the chute. Too long a delay and your rocket noses over and heads for earth accelerating at 9.8 meters per second squared.
