Aerospace Engineering: Error Tolerance?
 

How do aerospace engineers manage calculations with small error margins in trajectory predictions, especially when simplifying complex differential equations by assuming certain terms as constant? Is a 2% error tolerance acceptable in the field, or do they primarily rely on computer algorithms to iterate and solve complex equations for more accurate results?

This topic really isn't relevant to this forum, which is for aerodynamics as related to automobiles. You will probably have a better chance getting an answer if you found an aerospace forum. I'm closing this thread as it is off topic, and will be a magnet for spammers.
