Trajectory pressure calculator

Find the load before the speed.

Import time, altitude, and velocity. The lab calculates density and dynamic pressure for every sample, then marks each profile's max Q.

Atmosphere: ρ = 1.225 exp(−h/8500) kg/m³. q = ½ρv². This simplified model omits winds and angle of attack. No live Flight 13 telemetry is used.

Load the sample or paste two trajectory profiles.

Dynamic pressure through ascent

Peak timing
Maximum q is computed independently for each profile.
Physical interpretation
Density eventually winsFaster motion raises q with v², while thinning atmosphere drives it back down.
