Abstract

This paper investigates the conditions under which Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear could take flight. At an optimum angle of attack of α = 13Ëš, a firework powering Buzz would approximately need to provide a force of 165.5N for a minimum burn time of 0.82s to allow a minimum velocity of 90.68m/s to be reached for Buzz to take off.
