Is there a website where I can find out how much an Estes rocket engine will lift/how high it will go?

Question

I need a chart of how much lift a specific rocket engine will lift and also how far it will go into the air. Also where I can buy Estes rocket engines on the Internet.

Answer 1

Model Rocket Engines type code (i.e. B12-3) The letter is an impulse code (see table). The number following the letter is the average thrust in newtons and the final number after the dash is a delay in seconds for the ejection charge.

Altitude you achieve with a model is dependent not only upon the engine type but the overall weight and aerodynamics of the rocket

Answer 2

A model rocket engine will deliver a certain thrust profile over time. How high your rocket will go will depend on the weight of the rocket (the actuall calculations should involve calculus since the weight of your rocket is decreasing as the propellant is burnt however for a model rocket, the fuel weight is usually not a huge portion of the total weight so you may be able to neglete it and just use simple F=ma type equations).
