Design information
The design pages are filled with information I used for designing my water rockets.
I do not state that the given information is scientificly correct. But it is what i hold for true at the moment in my quest for the world record.
I share this information, so that you can use it for your own designs, but especially to get some feedback on flaws in the
calculations and assumptions underlying this information.
