Abstract

The effects of small perturbations in the design parameters of a multistage rocket on its flight performance have been investigated. To get the best combinations of design parameters, the advantage of a proposed change in some parameter in one of the stages over a change in another parameter in the same or some other stage so as to give a specified all burnt velocity has also been studied. Three cases have been examined and the changes in all burnt height have been calculated in each case. The results are of practical importance in the preliminary design of an optimum rocket.
