Answer 2

Rockets used by the Tippu sultan are famous as Mysorean Rockets and are the best examples of craftsmanship.

• Tippu Sultan was the ruler of the Mysorean Kingdom in South India.
• He was a brave ruler who fiercely fought against the British in four Anglo-Mysore wars.
• These rockets were attached to swords and had the potential to fly hundreds of meters in the air.
• It will fall on the target with the sharp end facing the enemy.
• The use of an iron case for holding the propellant gave a longer range (up to 2 km) and higher thrust.
• The bursting thrust provided by the container of black powder was much higher than the paper counterparts.
• Rockets consisted of a tube of hammered iron of 20cm in length and 3.8 to 7.6 cm in diameter.
• It was closed at one end and the other end was connected to a bamboo shaft of 1m.
• Each rocket could carry 500g of powder and could travel almost 900m.
• European rockets at the time were not able to travel such distance.
• Mysore rockets were the best example of Indian craftmanship.`
