Description
Rocket Trail for iPhone is a fantastic tool for any rocketeer! Now, you can simulate a launch of any Estes rocket in the palm of your hand, hit the launch site with this must-have tools.
Rocket Trail allows you to select a rocket, parachute and engine, and it will calculate the projected altitude of your launch. Rocket Trail calculates the effects from weathercocking and drift to predict your rockets landing zone using current realtime weather data. How cool is that!
Dig into the data and examine the physics involved with your launch. View your rockets
. Altitude
. Velocity
. Acceleration
. Engine Thrust Curve
. Forces acting on your Rocket
. Drift effects from Wind
Rocket Trail can also be used to measure you rockets actual launch altitude. Set the location of your launch site and your distance is calculated using your GPS location. Augmented reality is used to help locate your rockets predicted launch altitude and display measurements.
What’s New
Version 1.4.0
The old inventory of rocket models has been removed from the app. Instead simple rocket parameters can be used to approximate a model otherwise single stage Open Rocket models can be added for more precise detailed modeling. The old inventory of Engines has also been removed. RASP and RS thrust curves can be imported or downloaded directly from within the app.
* Add support for Open Rocket Models
* Add support for Rasp Thrust Curves
* Add support for RS Thrust Curves
* Integration with Files App
- Manage Rocket models
- Manage Thrust Curves
- Manage Simulation CSV data
* Download Thrust Curves
* Support manual wind settings
Ratings and Reviews
Good app for ESTIMATING the landing area
This app works good for MOST Estes rockets, however the list is not complete. The observe function works good for calculating the altitude and distance of the rocket. I have not had any problems with the app crashing. Other than not including a few rockets I was able to find some similar rockets, at least in height as this is what truly matters. The list of engines is not complete either, but on most Estes rockets you are given multiple engines, which have roughly the same result. This app is not 100% accurate, but does work for estimating the landing area.
Ok, it crashes so therefore it adds aggravation.
What it says the app is I like the idea, but it crashes. Started out seemingly fine, first time I picked the rocket then as soon as I picked the engine it immediately crashed and kept crashing after that as soon as it opened. Restarted iPhone 6 thinking that might help but does the same thing, then I deleted and reinstalled it and it seemed to work better and got to play around with it and still crashed but I could open it back up this time. Like I said, I like what the app promises and soon as it's fixed and it doesn't crash I'll definitely change the star rating. I put two stars but I'm sure most would put one star being as how it doesn't do anything except crashing to the home screen often. My iPhone 6 has the latest updates, Thanks
Useless, won't load motor data
It's useless because you try to select a motor but nothing happens. I've deleted the app, reinstalled it, have to enter all the rocket data again, you bring up the motor list, no matter how many times you click on the motor, nothing happens. It'd be simpler just to add the motor data manually as with the rocket model.
It might be a good program... if it worked.
The app does nothing.
