The body is the main structure of the rocket car. It houses the engine, fuel tank, and driver. The body is also aerodynamically designed to reduce drag and increase speed.
2. Engine
The engine is the powerplant of the rocket car. It provides the thrust that propels the car forward. Rocket car engines are typically liquid-fueled, and they use a variety of propellants, such as liquid oxygen, hydrogen, and kerosene.
3. Fuel Tank
The fuel tank stores the propellants for the engine. The fuel tank is typically located at the rear of the car.
4. Driver
The driver is responsible for operating the rocket car. The driver controls the throttle, brakes, and steering. The driver also monitors the car's instruments and makes adjustments as needed.
5. Wheels
The wheels provide traction for the rocket car. The wheels are typically made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum or carbon fiber.
6. Brakes
The brakes slow down or stop the rocket car. The brakes are typically disc brakes, and they are located on the front and rear wheels.
7. Steering
The steering system controls the direction of the rocket car. The steering system is typically a rack-and-pinion system.
8. Instruments
The instruments provide the driver with information about the car's performance. The instruments include a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge.
9. Safety Equipment
The safety equipment protects the driver in the event of an accident. The safety equipment includes a roll cage, fire extinguisher, and seat belts.
