What is (1) airframe, (2) propulsion, (3) guidance (4) control?

What is the Law of Universal Gravitation?
Rockets propelled by gunpowder in 1405.
What was developed by an German engineer?

What are used in rocket propulsion?
A body in a state of rest and a body in motion tend to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by some outside force.
What is Newton's first Law of Motion?
The British formed a rocket brigade.
When in the War of 1812?

What is the guidance system?
The rate of change in the momentum of a body is proportional to the force acting upon the body and is in the direction of the force. F=MA
What is Newton's second Law of Motion?
Rockets carried signal flares and messages.
When deployed in World War I?
To change a rocket's flight path by changing the direction of the exhaust stream.
What is thrust vector control?
To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
Rockets were placed in holding tubes and light electrically.
Where on the struts of a biplane in World War I?
