In the previous section, we have discussed some of the common and widely employed model rocket recovery methods that have proved effective enough to recover model rocket after being launched successfully. The main purpose of recovering a model rocket is to use it for launching again and thereby saving a good amount of bucks that can be saved for other purpose. Here in this section, we will discuss some other model rocket recovery techniques as well. So just check them out now:
Helicopter recovery
In this model rocket recovery method, helicopter-style blades are employed for bringing back model rockets safely to earth. Recoiling model rocket engine in this helicopter recovery method creates a pressure and this pressure forces the rocket cone to pop out. A number of rubber bands are being used for connecting nose cone and blades of a model rocket which pulls the blades for helping the model rocket to enjoy a safe landing.
Parachute Recovery
This is another widely used and the most simple model rocket recovery technique. Though it is ideal for small rockets, it can be used for recovering large rockets. Motor’s ejection charger is used in this method for pushing out parachute when needed. In most of the cases, a fireproof material is inserted into the body of the rocket engine and this enable the ejection charge to continue its work without damaging any equipment. When the parachute is unfolded, it helps the rocket to land on earth smoothly.
Glide recovery
In this recovery method, motor should be separated from the glider or an airfoil should be deployed for smoothening the functionality of the ejection charge. It will help you to ensure safe return of your rocket by using a spiral glide.
