Water Rocket CAR

The Mission

The mission is to design a Water Rocket Car capable of reaching the longest distance possible given the specific launch criteria. The Water Rocket Car serves to familiarize students with the basic principles of rocketry, design engineering, and manufacturing engineering. Students will design and manufacture a water rocket car using a bottle as the pressure vessel.
Entrants must also construct their own launcher.
