During March 2026, Trex Taran enhanced the MonopropUAV repository by developing advanced wind modeling and aerodynamic data integration for rocket simulation. Using Rust, he implemented a wind simulation module with altitude-based profiles and Gauss-Markov gusts, directly linking wind effects to rocket dynamics. He introduced AeroTable structures for aerodynamic data, enabling CSV-driven bilinear interpolation and dynamic drag calculations based on ISA density. The simulation’s usability improved through a buffered rerun mode and independent CSV logging, supporting offline analysis. Trex’s work demonstrated depth in algorithm design, data modeling, and unit testing, resulting in a more robust and flexible simulation framework.
March 2026 monthly summary for MonopropUAV: Delivered substantial improvements to simulation fidelity, data modeling, and usability. Key features delivered include wind modeling integrated into rocket dynamics with altitude-based profiles and Gauss-Markov gusts, plus comprehensive code refactors and a dedicated wind model helper. Introduced AeroTable-based aero data modeling with CSV loading, bilinear interpolation (with clamping), dynamic drag calculations driven by ISA density, and seamless integration into the rocket model (including nose offset and a get_nose_to_com_z helper). Also enabled improved simulation usability with a buffered rerun mode and independent CSV logging for offline analysis.
