Recovery Drift Calculator
Estimate how far your rocket will drift during descent based on altitude, descent rate and wind speed.

Assumes constant wind speed and vertical descent. The launch angle offsets the apogee position upwind, reducing net drift — 5–10° into the wind is common practice. Real drift varies with winds aloft, turbulence and parachute oscillation. Negative angles tilt away from the wind.
