 Flights simulated with RocketPy
 ===============================
 
-Apart from the classical Calisto rocket, which is many times used as a
-reference in the getting started tutorial, RocketPy also includes some very
-interesting examples of real rockets.
+RocketPy has been used to simulate many flights, from small amateur rockets to
+large professional ones.
+This section contains some of the most interesting 
+results obtained with RocketPy.
+The following plot shows the comparison between the simulated and measured
+apogee of some rockets.
 
-If you want to see your rocket here, please contact the maintainers!
