Well I do not know what it is technically called. I understand it and can explain it to a point but do not know the "terms" that properly describe it so I chose soemething that seemed kind of close. that is why I worded it the way I did.
I am speaking of the visual effect not the technical effect. mathmatically they are all the same and can be calculated. Visually you see to visually distinct and different things. Watch an alpha go up and watch a Centuri Saucer go up. 2 distinctly different flight profiles even though the same mathmatical formula can predict the information for both flights.
I do not know the technical optimal so I just used the "experienced" doable.
Incorrect this is almsot always true in reality. MOST PEOPLE do not FLY E RCRC's On E6's. Most people do NOT FLY RCRG's period.
Most people fly rockets where almost all of their altitude is aquired on the COAST phase of the flight coast phase including any long trail off of the thrust phase.
Again two visual distinct and different flight profiles that are both mathmatically the same.
I am speaking from the visual aspect. for your sake I will put it into percentages for you.
Let go extreme just to get the idea across.
Normal rocket go for 1% and coast for 99%
My Rockets tend to go for 99% and coast for 1%
the math is the same for both the VISUAL distinction is very different. NO the percentages are not mathmatically accurate I am just using them to make the point.
MOST of the altitude gained by a snitch it under thrust. EVEN with a B6-2 it will be pointing DOWN then that ejection charge fires.
On drag limited models that I speak of when the motor burns out the vertical part of the flight is "basically" over. so the longer the BURN the Higher the flight.
