Simulation Files for Make: High-Power Rockets
Simulation Files for Make: High-Power Rockets
This new book from Maker Media shows you how to build and fly high-power rockets that use H and larger motors while you get your high-power rocket certifications. You’ll learn how to design and build rockets that will stand up to the rigors of high-power flight. Starting with a smaller 4 foot tall rocket, you’ll work up to a 7 foot fiberglass rocket that can fly 13,000 feet high and easily break the sound barrier on a small M motor.
The links below download Open Rocket simulation files for the rockets in the book. See the book itself for full construction details.
