Rocket FinCan

Description
Fins are used to aerodynamically control the direction of flight. A fin can is a complete assembly including fins and body tube, often fitted over the outside of the main rocket body tube. Optionally, a fin can may include a launch lug.



Usage

 * 1) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 2) * Press the button.
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 4) * Double click on a Fin Can object in the Tree view.
 * 5) Set options and press.

Fin Options
Fin options for the fin can are the same as for individual fins. See Fin for more details

However due to the one piece nature of fin cans, they do not have the option to include Through The Wall (TTW) tabs.

Properties

 * : Defines the shape of the fins.
 * : The fin height.
 * : The sketch associated with the custom fin type.
 * : The distance between the fin leading and trailing edges at the root
 * : The cross section shape of the fin at the root, see Options
 * : Usage depends on the Fin Root Cross Section and will apply to a taper length or similar, see Options
 * : Usage depends on the Fin Root Cross Section and will apply to a taper length or similar when multiple values are required, see Options
 * : Expresses the Fin Root Length 1 and Fin Root Length 2 properties as a percentage of the Fin Root Chord
 * : Maximum thickness at the root of the fin
 * : The angle of the front of the fin, with a vertical front being 0 degrees. This may be negative. Setting this value will cause the Sweep Length to be adjusted.
 * : The distance from the front of the fin root to the front of the fin tip along the x axis. This may be negative. Setting this value will cause the Sweep Angle to be adjusted.
 * : The distance between the fin leading and trailing edges at the tip
 * : The cross section shape of the fin at the tip, see Options
 * : Usage depends on the Fin Tip Cross Section and will apply to a taper length or similar, see Options
 * : Usage depends on the Fin Tip Cross Section and will apply to a taper length or similar when multiple values are required, see Options
 * : Expresses the Fin Tip Length 1 and Fin Tip Length 2 properties as a percentage of the Fin Tip Chord
 * : Maximum thickness at the tip of the fin
