I have just finished a report containing a writeup of all of the equations used in the Icarus project. They have been formatted, checked, and referenced. I think this would be very useful and time-saving for anyone else working in rocketry, either as a hobby, or developing a game, or a simulation.<\/p>\n
I used latex to compile the file, it is very useful for this kind of project, since it has support for all of the mathematical symbols that I needed.<\/p>\n
This is the introduction to the report:<\/p>\n
\nP142: Icarus II<\/div>\nFile Version: 1.0<\/div>\nCompiled by Phoenix Advanced Concepts<\/div>\ncontact@phoenixadvancedconcepts.com<\/div>\nApril 9th, 2014<\/div>\nUseful Rocket Equations<\/div>\n<\/div>\n1 Introduction<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThis document is intended to be a reference guide for those involved in Rocketry,<\/div>\neither amateur rocket building, creating computer simulations, games, or just<\/div>\nthose who wish to learn. This reference is by no mean exhaustive, it is simply<\/div>\na record of the equations that I found useful (and essential) while working on<\/div>\n\\Icarus”, my simulation program and rocket design.<\/div>\nThe vast majority of these equations have been sourced from various web re-<\/div>\nsources, some of which were very hard to \fnd. I have also added some simple<\/div>\nequations of my own that I used for my project. Due to the signi\fcant amount<\/div>\nof time I spent \fnding and learning how to use these equations, I thought it<\/div>\nwould be useful to release this resource to the community, in the hope that it<\/div>\ncould help others in the future.<\/div>\nWhile I have taken care to check these equations for accuracy, I make no guar-<\/div>\nantee to this e\u000bect, and accept no responsibility for any errors.<\/div>\nI have chosen to use mathematical notation throughout the document, for con-<\/div>\nsistency and professionalism. (eg.instead of \\rho”). This is despite the fact<\/div>\n
