**Technical Report on Model Rocket Engine Performance **
This classic technical note has all kinds of information on model rocket
engine performance.
It includes propellant characteristics, propellant grain design, the nozzle
and how to calculate chamber pressures of Estes model rocket engines.
**Calculating the Center of Pressure**
Detailed images and descriptions show how to calculate the center of pressure,
center of gravity and stability criteria.
**Estes Model Rocket Engines **
Do you need information on Estes rocket engines? This poster includes how
model rocket engines work and how they are classified.
**Engine Time/Thrust Curves**
These time/thrust curves show the relation between thrust produced by a
model rocket engine and time.
This page contains time/thrust curves for Estes model rocket engines from
1/4A’s to E9’s.
**Rocket Designer’s Plan Sheet **
Blank plan sheet includes a parts list and notes section.
**Estes Model Rocketry Reference Chart**
