Jason did you know there is an add-on for open rocket that lets you put in several levels of wind speed at whatever altitude you want?

Is there, where did you find it??

 

I have just done a sample average. Make sure altitudes are a CONSTANT interval rate (in this case every 2500 feet) like follows:

0-2500 10mph

2501-5000 17mph

5001-7500 28mph

7501-10000 28mph

10001-12500 36mph

Add them all together, divide by the number of samples

(10+17+28+28+36)/5=23.8 mph (average)

Here is a link to add on:

Here is link with info:

Curious - where did you get those wind speeds from? Seems a bit higher than forecast?
