Another Pressure Vessel Question
Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2013 12:51 am
As I have read the class A rules for single stage altitude and begin planning an airframe for competition; I have a couple questions for the WRA2 board.
As long as the entire rocket (everything except reaction mass) weighs 1500gm or less, can it's pressure vessel be any lenghth or dimeter that's within these parameters?
Is chemical deployment acceptable, common methods or otherwise? Not pyro of course.
Is any wire spring acceptable in the deployment mechanism? This would be completely internal (nose cone affixed).
Is ANY fixed style (rigidly attached rocket) to launcher allowed? I have an ideal that is still in the thinktank that is entirely different then what is commonly used but still falls well within the leagal wording for launcher construction. I wish not to reveal this directly here; if your curiosity is such that you must know, please contact me privately about this matter for the time being.
Thank you for your time durring the holidays.
