Effect of Fins on Bottle Rockets and Notes on Fins
The goal of the fins is to insure the stability of the rocket, by pulling the center of pressure (CP) at about 1 diameter of the rocket under the center of gravity (CG). To do that, we can act either on the area of the fins or on their position toward the center of gravity. The lower the fins will be, the less the area of …showed first 75 words of 509 total…

If the fins are angled, they will also cause the rocket to spin when it is in descent, helping to achieve a smoother landing.
