Advanced Flight Simulation

OpenRocket offers more advanced options for simulating flight. You can plot your rocket's predicted acceleration, climb, eject and landing, make a prediction for how far downrange and in which direction your flight will land, and even experiment with different models of Earth's geometry, as it affects your flight.

Plotting your rocket's flight

The Plot/Export Button.


The Plot/Export window.


A Plot of the simulation.
