Withthis data, altitudes can be determined for any Rocket usingany of the Estes motors (including 2 or 3 stage vehicles andcluster-powered rockets). In addition, flight times can be eas-ily found so that optimum engine delay times can be this simple method for calculating aerodynamic drageffects, many interesting experiments and research projectscan be initiated which would have previously been too labori-ous for easy of the easy-to-readgraphs and a few simple arithmetic calculations will enableyou to accurately predict the performances of your modelrockets with different Estes engines.
