I have been flying some model rockets powered by commercially available solid propellant engines. I have been flying at an elevation of 2550 above sea level. I am headed to a competition next week and will be flying near sea level.
The air density will change approximately 5% due to the elevation change. Will this air density change affect the burn rate of the propellant the same way it would an air breathing engine (ie more thrust at sea level)?
thanks
