Path: Propulsion/Rocket
% Generic rocket model as a function of altitude. Given boundary conditions it will generate a curve of thrust and specific impulse as a function of altitude. It uses the standard atmosphere model so the range of altitudes is 0 to 80 km. Type RocketModel for a demo of the Space Shuttle Main Engine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [thrust,iSp] = RocketModel(h,iSpR,thrustR,pR) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ h (1,:) Altitude (km) iSpR (1,2) Specific impulse (s) thrustR (1,2) Thrust (N) pR (1,2) Pressure (N/m^2) atmData (.)
