Malewicki Equations

The Malewicki Equations (or Fehskens-Malewicki Equations) for Sub-sonic Endo-atmospheric Rocket Flight describe the maximum altitude and coast time of a vehicle such as a model rocket. Aerospace engineer and inventor Douglas Malewicki first published them as a technical report by the model rocket company Estes Industries in 1967. [1] [2]
