Thanks BarryKirk. I was aware of what you and Propforce were talking about and I already knew about the rocket equation. However, one thing I was never sure of was exactly how thrust affects delta v. While I knew it was important, especially to first stages, I could never find a formula anywhere that quantified it. Do you have a formula or equation that I can use to determine this? It has been sort of a hobby of mine to design hypothetical LVs, however I don't have all of the formulas to take every factor into my equations (I'm basically operating off of just the aforementioned "rocket equation"). If you have any more formulas that could help me with things like atmospheric and gravitational drag they would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Peregrine LV<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated.
