Rocksim development suggestion
I would like to see added to the Simulation results listing
a calculated value of the delay required for max Altitude
Recovery system data
P: Parachute Deployed at : 7.554 Seconds
Velocity at deployment: 5.7303 ft/s
Altitude at deployment: 1525.78624 Ft.
Range at deployment: -55.29280 Ft.
Actual delay : 5 sec
Optimal delay: ? sec
Maxumum Altitude : ? ft
Given the the program knows the Velocity, Acceleration, & Altitude at deployment,
it should not be a difficult calculation to estimate the Optimal Delay for Max Altitude.
This would reduce the number of iterative simulations.
Just a thought
