The stability of a rocket during flight is the one of the most crucial factors from the perspective of a design engineer. Without stability, a rocket is equivalent to an uncontrolled and unpredictable, high-speed projectile. Passive control can stabilize flight in one of two ways: by shifting the center of pressure (CP) behind the center of gravity (CG); or by producing a spin along the axis ...
