How The Tesla Roadster Could Actually Fly
In this video I wanted to look at the rocket system planned for the Tesla Roadster, which will apparently use cold gas thrusters to make the car fly or hover about the ground, as well as accelerate to 62mph (100kph) in around 1.1 seconds! I was very interested after seeing some videos that spoke about the challenges and wondered if it was even possible, so here are a collection of very rough calculations to hopefully teach a bit about rocket science and work out what the tesla roadster could do! I am also no rocket scientist, so please let me know your thoughts on my calculations :D!
