The boost velocity is the velocity achieved when the rocket motors cut off.

The terminal velocity is found during descent, when the drag force is exactly balanced by weight.

5MAE 2
Maximum Altitude
The maximum altitude of the rocket is found at the point where the rocket stops climbing -- which means that its velocity is zero.
The maximum altitude expression depends on the boost velocity as well as the terminal velocity.

Total Drag Summary
The ballistic coefficient depends on the rocket drag characteristics.

Rocket Design Summary
A high boost velocity is needed to maximize altitude.
High propulsion efficiency (eta)
Long fuselage
Low mass
A large ballistic parameter reduces the rate of deceleration in coast phase.
High mass
Low drag
Small area tail fins
Fuselage length about four times the fuselage diameter
Static stability is needed to insure a smooth vertical flight path.

Analytical Predictions
Record air pressure before launch; then use the pressure to estimate thrust.

TPd /22
Use weight scale to get the rocket's mass; then estimate boost velocity.
Estimate drag characteristics; then compute ballistic parameter.
Compute terminal velocity and maximum altitude.

14MAE 2
Test Flight Data
The boost velocity is found just after the rocket leaves the launch tube.
The terminal velocity is found just before the rocket lands or crashes.
The maximum altitude is found by counting the number of bricks from the launch point to the highest point in the flight.
