A few weeks ago, we had an article by John K. Bennett that described how to estimate the fin flutter velocity for trapezoidal and elliptical fin shapes. On Tuesday of this week, we released a follow-on two-part article by Professor Bennett describes how to handle triangular, multi-sided, and other more complex fin shapes. Also in this week's issue: Tim's blog series called "Tim's Messy Desk." This is a more personal account of what is going on at Apogee Components and the things that are important to Tim. This afternoon, we still have the RockSim Live (Friday) at 2 p.m. Mountain Time zone. If you have questions on how to use Rocksim or how to get information from it, please feel welcome to join us. What is Coming Up Next Week? Next week Tuesday, you'll get to see our latest how-to video. This one shows you how to cut a body tube at an angle. You might use this technique to add extra decoration on to an otherwise plain looking rocket. Check your email inbox next Tuesday. |
