Silly thought, but one I had in the shower earlier today.
Is there any way to simulate parallel staging in a cluster? Specifically, I'm thinking of a situation where you'd have several very large motors strapped together in a cluster, and then only certain sets (in symmetrical pairs) would be ignited. So if you had a group of 7 motors, 4 would fire, then 2, and then 1. OR doesn't present any intuitive solutions to simming this.
It's, obviously, not as efficient as building one larger motor to a custom diameter, but I'd imagine it could be beneficial for very high-altitude flights where recovery starts becoming a problem.
