How come rockets and missiles (excluding cruise missile) never stall or spin?
|
Airplanes and helicopters have much more complex flight surface controls and mechanisms than rockets and missiles, but how come they can stall or spin. I've never hear of a missile/rocket being stall.

1, they do stall, but its very rare and usually not herd of.
2, its mostly because of the fact that they have an *** load of thrust behind them, helicopters and planes stall from lack of thrust which prevents enough air from passing through the wings and thus giving them lack of the lift that they need, rockets rarely have that problem because of the constant combustion creating a load of thrust |

rockets and missles use force to propel them. they don't need to generate lift as aircraft do in order to fly. If I remember correctly, this is the principle difference in what is an aircraft and a missle according to scientist.
btw an aircraft stall means it has lost the lift it needs to stay in the air, not that its engine has died. |

Most if not all have stabilizing fins even RPG have fins that pop out. Even though there are fins they still spin like a foot ball. |

Its in how they are designed.
And they do stall and other things...usually break apart. That's part of the reason the Scud variants (such as the modification that Iraq made) and the No-Dong missiles break apart, they are exceeding their design specifications. Iraq and North Korea took a missle that worked, and tried to make it better, but in doing so, the missle breaks apart in flight because of the changed weight or thrust. |

If you had that much fire coming out your butt, would you stall? |

Well, you kinda answered your own question. It's because rockets and missiles are much simpler than manned aircraft. Rockets are just metal tubes loaded with basically gunpowder. Light them up and they go straight.
Missiles are more complex. They HAVE failed to work. You just really don't hear about them because nobody calls a class A safety mishap investigation over a failed missile like they do with aircraft! Of the two missiles that hit the Stark, the first one failed to detonate. So there's at least one example for ya. |
