title = "Effect of Removing End Plate on Stability of a Multi Stage Sounding Rocket",
abstract = "Sounding rocket fins are sometimes designed with winglet type structures at the tip, called as end plates. End plates are useful in reducing tip loses and thereby improving the stability of the vehicle. The present paper discusses an engineering method for assessing the impact of removal of end-plates on the stability of a sounding rocket. The method assumes that aerodynamic coefficients of the vehicle with end plates is available a-priori. A correction factor is employed to account for the loss in lift due to end-plate removal. The modified centre of pressure location is then computed using component build-up. The results from this method are also validated with CFD results.",
