Dynamics of a Rocket with an Axis of Symmetry

Abstract

A fundamental analysis of the dynamics of a short-range rocket-propelled vehicle with an axis of symmetry is presented. The treatment is rigorous and comprehensive, stressing the interpretation and application of physical principles to this problem. The number of initial assumptions has been kept small. The final equations are quite general, and are carried through a series of approximations and restrictions. An index is included.
