Abstract:

Techniques of designing minimum weight rocket vehicles have been explored and a recommended procedure arrived at. Use of this procedure is demonstrated, as is use of statistical weight relationships. A generalized solution to the single-degree-of-freedom, point mass equations of motion is developed and demonstrated. Author
