Holy cow, Filip! Thanks for providing all this information! I can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate this. The best I had done so far was to find http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/flteqs.html" which gives some equations for drag-impeded flight. I ended up using the...

Hi, Filip. Thanks for the reply. In this particular case, I am attempting to model a crafts horizontal velocity over the surface of a planet (with atmosphere) as it is on a landing approach. I would like to be able to determine the exact (or close enough) time the craft will have to fire its...

Homework Statement This isn't exactly homework, but this seemed like the right place for this question. I'm working on an add-on for Orbiter - the space flight simulator - and would like to be able to determine the equation of motion for an object traveling at an initial velocity (v0), with a...
