Figure 44: Streamlines around the Aircraft with the Bottle<br />
The velocity magnitude around the airplane with four rockets on it is shown in Figure 45. Unlike<br />
the previous case described, the rockets are streamlined and therefore the disrupted airflow<br />
around them does not appear to be as severe. The flow around the trailing edge of the rockets is<br />
the slowest and the flow over the entire system is reasonably high (yellow/orange refers to higher<br />
speeds).<br />
Figure 45: Velocity Magnitude around the Aircraft with the Rockets<br />
The streamlines for the airplane carrying four rockets show that the flow around the entire<br />
system is smooth. This is expected since the airplane and the rockets are streamlined. This is<br />
seen in Figure 46:<br />
