NOTE-1: Software Installation: Download the .zip file and copy to the desktop. Then, double-click the .zip file to run WinZip which extracts and installs the computer program. If this procedure does not work then copy the .zip file to the desktop then right-click the .zip file and click Open with WinZip or Extract to... to run the installation program. Follow the setup instructions and use provided defaults for proper installation. Please see NOTE-4, below.

NOTE-2: Input data for all AeroRocket programs must use a period (.) and not a comma (,) and the computer must be set to the English (United States) language. For example, gas constant should be written as  Rgas = 355.4 (J / kg*K = m^2 / sec^2*K) and not Rgas = 355,4. The English (United States) language is set in the Control Panel by clicking Date, Time, Language and Regional Options then Regional and Language Options and finally by selecting English (United States). If periods are not used in all inputs and outputs the results will not be correct. See more notes below.


AeroWindTunnel 6.0 ($100.00 US) New! TOP
Airplane Flight Dynamics & Stability Analysis
for Gliding and Powered Flight
Detailed Information
  Buy On-Line   Mail Order

AeroWindTunnel is AeroRocket's first wind tunnel simulation program for determining airplane and glider stability and whether or not a glider or model airplane is stable enough to fly. AeroWindTunnel is a true wind tunnel simulation program in that it determines whether an airplane is stable based on the position of the wing-body neutral point relative to the center of gravity and whether the relative contribution of the wings, fuselage and vertical fins to the forces and moments around the airplane center of gravity are sufficient for longitudinal and lateral stability. In addition, AeroWindTunnel uses slider-bar control to define airplane geometry instead of time-consuming CAD geometry definitions. AeroWindTunnel has been validated from 0.3 Mach to 3.5 Mach using the AeroRocket wind tunnel and other online sources.

AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation ($35.00 US) New Version!
TOP
Aerodynamic Drag Prediction and Flight Performance Analysis
Detailed Information
  Buy On-Line   Mail Order

AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation is a computer program that allows the rocketeer to quickly and easily perform rocket drag (Cd) and flight simulations using the power of Microsoft Windows. AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation interactively predicts subsonic, transonic and supersonic rocket drag to Mach 20 using the Newtonian surface inclination method for nose-body and fin combinations. AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation also performs flight simulations of rockets in vertical flight. For flight simulations the basic equations of rocket motion are repeatedly integrated to determine rocket velocity, altitude and acceleration using a finite difference procedure. In this latest version of AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation, the Cd can vary with rocket velocity and air density varies with altitude. The ability to model the variation of Cd with velocity (Mn) is important for accurate high speed and high altitude rocket predictions. Finally, AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation is unmatched in its ability to determine subsonic drag of ring-fin and tube-fin stabilized rockets along with many other new features. Now, AeroDRAG & Flight Simulation models the two-dimensional flight path of rockets that fly in the proximity of the gravitational field of the Earth.

Nozzle is a one-dimensional compressible flow computer program for the analysis of converging-diverging rocket nozzles. Nozzle internal flow may be entirely subsonic, entirely supersonic or a combination of subsonic and supersonic including shock waves in the diverging part of the nozzle. Shock waves are clearly identified as vertical red lines on all plots. The cross-sectional shape in the axial direction of the nozzle is specified by selecting from five standard nozzle types or by defining nozzle geometry using the Free-Form nozzle geometry method. Nozzle plots color contours of pressure ratio, temperature ratio, density ratio, and Mach number and has a slider bar that displays real-time values of all nozzle flow properties. New in this version is the ability to determine shock-angle, jet-angle (plume-angle) and Mach number for axisymmetric and two-dimensional nozzles in the region near the lip for underexpanded and overexpanded flow.
