Imagine choosing a nose cone by clicking the mouse on its picture; typing in body tube length; draw the fin; pick the number of fins; choose a rocket motor by clicking on a picture and then having the computer:
• Draw your design to scale,
• Calculate and show the Center of gravity,
• Calculate and show the Center of Pressure,
• Analyze its stability,
• Annuls its flight,
• List what parts you would need to build it,
• Estimate the cost of construction,
• and print everything, including a scale fin pattern.
“Rocket Designer” does all this.
