NX Kuiper RLV B (Rocket Launch/Lift Vehicle) - Newbie Input

Yes, good observation - I will post some more data after work - but, yes... the asymmetry results in slightly different CoFs for the X and Z Axes.

Here, my studies were done at AoAs of 0 through 20 degrees to the Y Axis, here. I’ve done other studies to 90 degrees, but that’s not too realistic.

By what calculation or variables did you estimate the CP location? And did you run cases at multiple AoA orientations to account for the rocket asymmetry?
