Little chart I've made

[PlonioFludrasco]

Hi to all! I've just made a simple chart with GeoGebra, I think's it's nice so I decided to post it here.

It shows the delta-v needed to change your orbital inclination in function of the inclination change:

It's not tested yet, so I'm not 100% sure if the readings given are ok!! (will try tomorrow. EDIT: just tested, it works fine)

Notes: It refers to circular orbits around Kerbin. Height indicated is the same as in-game (it's not orbital radius). Initial and final orbits are both circular and with the same semi-major axis.

Better resolution: (maybe too big!)

If you want to get a look to the source(It's a geogebra file, so you'll need it to visualize):

Maybe that's not very useful, but it's nice.

EDIT: comment if you liked!

Damn those plane changes are expensive. 500 m/s to do a little over 10 degree plane change from 100km. Unbelievable.

Well, you're hurtling along at 2300 m/s there, so trying to divert that to the side is not easy

Ok, I've had a couple of tests about that chart and seems it works fine.

Plane changes suck. Period.

Plane changes suck. Period.

Agree, but if you want to do it, here's how much delta-v you'll need.
