File is usable, but has some problems:
"official" curve a bit optimistic | Bernard Cawley | February 6, 2012 | |
---|---|---|---|
The "official" Thrustcurve data has double the thrust and half again the total impulse as the data shown on the NAR motor data page. My version is created by using TCTrace on the NAR-published graph (which appears to be of the third sample of the six motors with ejection charges listed). That motor was an underachiever but none of the motors tested approaches the performance of the "official" data here. It's almost as if the thrust scale was doubled in the capture of the official version. |
