What's New
The old inventory of rocket models has been removed from the app. Instead simple rocket parameters can be used to approximate a model otherwise single stage Open Rocket models can be added for more precise detailed modeling. The old inventory of Engines has also been removed. RASP and RS thrust curves can be imported or downloaded directly from within the app.
* Add support for Open Rocket Models
* Add support for Rasp Thrust Curves
* Add support for RS Thrust Curves
* Integration with Files App
- Manage Rocket models
- Manage Thrust Curves
- Manage Simulation CSV data
* Download Thrust Curves
* Support manual wind settings
App Description
Rocket Trail for iPhone is a fantastic tool for any rocketeer! Now, you can simulate a launch of any Estes rocket in the palm of your hand, hit the launch site with this must-have tools.
Rocket Trail allows you to select a rocket, parachute and engine, and it will calculate the projected altitude of your launch. Rocket Trail calculates the effects from weathercocking and drift to predict your rockets landing zone using current realtime weather data. How cool is that!
Dig into the data and examine the physics involved with your launch. View your rockets
. Altitude
. Velocity
. Acceleration
. Engine Thrust Curve
. Forces acting on your Rocket
. Drift effects from Wind
Rocket Trail can also be used to measure you rockets actual launch altitude. Set the location of your launch site and your distance is calculated using your GPS location. Augmented reality is used to help locate your rockets predicted launch altitude and display measurements.
