This page presents the results from my water bottle rocket simulations using the tool provided by Air Command Rockets. I used this simulator to model different rocket parameters—such as water volume, pressure, nozzle size, and drag coefficient—to predict how these changes would influence altitude, thrust, and flight duration. These simulations helped guide design decisions before physical testing, allowing me to optimize the rocket’s performance and understand key relationships between the variables at play.
