Altitude Events
This page offers a short description of the NAR altitude events.
Where appropriate, many of these events are divided by motor power.
For example, "B (engine) Altitude" is a different event from "F (engine) Altitude," for obvious reasons!
Achieve the highest altitude.
Fly the longest possible rocket to the highest altitude without structural failure. Points are awarded by a formula that takes into account both the length of the rocket and the altitude achieved.
Fly your rocket as closely as possible to an predetermined altitude. Precision Altitude is actually three separate events where the goal is to be able to predict the performance of your model rocket.
Achieve the highest altitude possible with a single-stage model using multiple motors. The number of motors used depends on the engine class of the event.
Carry a one-ounce cylinder of sand to the highest possible altitude.
Carry a fresh hen's egg to the highest possible altitude, and return it unbroken.
Carry two fresh hen's eggs to the highest possible altitude, and return them unbroken.
