Talk:Model rocket motor classification

not high enough
The chart doesn't go high enough. Assuming that after Z it should go ZZ, ZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZZ the space shuttle boosters should be approximately ZZZZZ10000000. 72.40.45.79 (talk) 22:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually ... model rocket motor designations only go up to E or G depending on your definition of "model rocket." The current definition based on FAA regulations limits model rockets to a G motor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jadebox (talk • contribs) 21:06, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Renaming
Seems to me like this page should be renamed, considering rocket impulse classes that are far beyond consumer-grade are listed (i.e. Shuttle SRB.) 76.174.237.125 (talk) 23:13, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Poorly written
Someone please flag this page. It reads like a blog article. Saad Mirza (talk) 22:43, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Liquid rocket engines (e.g. Rocketdyne F-1) do not belong on this chart. This chart goes by impulse, which depends almost entirely on the size of the propellant tanks. Putting the entire Saturn 1-C stage on here would make sense, but not the engine by itself.

Advertisements in chart
Somebody please review the chart's use of links to commercial products, all by the same vendor. The 1/2A, A, C, and D classifications all have links to a commercial website called bnbrockets.com and takes the user directly to pages where they can purchase products. This is all in the "Aerospace Vehicle or Rocket(s)" column. If we're going to point to typical model rockets, shouldn't we point to pages such as rocketreviews.com, where it's not giving free marketing to a specific company?

Came here to say the same, it looks like advertising. The linked pages have no obvious mention of the actual motors used to achieve said impulse either. 2001:7D0:8C42:B400:A288:69FF:FE94:F2E6 (talk) 20:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)


 * University rocketry teams are also adding their in-the-scheme-of-things insignificant rockets. More examples for each class is a good thing but this is ridiculous. See both GTXR rockets and THRUST TU-1 as examples. Mostmadmonkey (talk) 18:48, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
