AeroCP 4.0 ($15.00) New!
Rocket Center of Pressure (XCp) Analysis
Provides an efficient way to compute
center of pressure location (XCp) for model and high power rockets. AeroCP
4.0 determines XCp for rockets having conical expansions,
conical reductions, boat tails, arbitrary fin shapes and several
nose cone types. In addition, AeroCP computes XCp of multiple
stage rockets where all data is clearly visible. Also, performs airframe
loads analyses in the form of shear, moment and stress
distribution plots and fin aeroelastic analyses using the
Barrowman lift curve slope (CN_alpha). This new version displays
main fins lift slope, booster fins lift slope and center of
pressure location from tip of nose cone using the Barrowman equations.
Program
Features
1) Program "Quit"
button on main tool bar.
2) Tab to each data field has been added.
3) Program automatically computes distance of fin mid-chord line.
4) Added "Print" command on Instruction page.
5) AeroCP is now delivered on CD ROM.
6) Perform fin aeroelastic analyses for determining divergence
velocity and flutter velocity.
7) Perform airframe loads
analyses in the form of shear, moment and stress distribution
plots.
8) Saves project files
with the .RK1 delimiter for rockets with No Transitions, .RK2
delimiter for rockets with Expansion Transitions, .RK3 delimiter
for rockets with Reduction Transitions, .RK4 delimiter for
rockets with Expansion/Reduction Transitions and .RK5 delimiter
for rockets with a Booster Stage.
9) Airframe location pull-bar updates display in real-time as it
is operated.
10) Still very affordable at only $15 and simple to use.
