- WalterBright 5y agoYes. Don't put wings, flaps, rudder, and landing gear on a rocket.
- dogsgobork 5y agoExcept SpaceX's Starship design does include moveable wings/flaps.
- WalterBright 5y agoI'd call them fins, which are used to orient the rocket, not provide lift.
- djenendik 5y agoSo a rudder?
- WalterBright 5y agoLook at the size of the rudder on the space shuttle vs the size of the fins.
- pfdietz 5y agoThe lesson that was (or at least should have been) learned from the Space Shuttle was to not develop things that are obviously from the start bad ideas (as one of von Braun's Germans lamented "they reinvented the wheel, and made it square.") This lesson also applies to ITER.
