Body: 15 inches long, 1.5 inches in diameter with an area of 74.22. To make it we are going to cut three long strips of butcher paper then use glue to wrap them around a PVC pipe to dry in a cylinder shape.
Fins: One fin has an area of 6.89 inches. We decided to make the fins out of balsa wood since its light and we can easily just cut them out with a razor blade.
Nose Cone: the nose cone is 1.5 x 5 inches with an area of 13.68 inches. We are going to also make the nose out of balsa wood. I think we should make it by carving the end of a small cylinder of wood into a point, using a box cutter, then use sand paper to smooth it out.
Parachute: We are going to cut a circle with a diameter of one foot. Well make it out of a trash bag and hole punch four holes into the edges to tie string through.
Engine Housing: our body tube is going to the perfect size to just slide the motor in place. To secure the motor we are going to use a metal strip from a card stock folder.
