# proptools
Rocket propulsion design calculation tools.


## Overview

This project provides python implementations of equations used in the preliminary design of rocket propulsion systems.
Most of the equations are taken from from *Modern Engineering for Design of Liquid-Propellant Rocket Engines* by Dieter Huzel and David Huang.
