Like Jeff Bezo’s… Uhh… Rocket… Don’t rockets need “fins” or “wings” to help stabilize or something?
In: Technology
A different way of achieving the same result is by using attitude thrusters. Either the big rocket nozzles can move around a bit, or you have smaller rockets that can be pointed in different directions. I don’t anything about Bezos’ rocket itself, but if it does not have fins it will have this. It is probably more efficient anyway, because wings (or fins) only work up to a certain altitude; after that air is to thin to have an effect, so you will need attitude thrusters anyway.
