Code gets stuck loading when I try to run it.

I am using a while loop to calculate and add the results to an index for the velocity, height and time of a model rockets journey so I can plot it. When I try to run my code a loading circle appears in the space right above the '1' for line one. It stays like this infinitly and never outputs anything into the work space. I have attached the code below. Hopefully someone can explain to me why this wont run. To my understanding I am not outputting an insane amount of values and filling up the memory. Or have I made an infinite loop which wont load. Also ignore the plotting at the end, still working that out. Thanks

In your SEGMENT 1 code you have this line where you are updating time (even though the comment says "Height Update").
I don't see n used or updated anywhere else.
t(i) = t(n-1) + Dt; % Height Update
Try changing it to this:
t(i) = t(i-1) + Dt; % Time Update

First look of your code shows that you do this mistake:

Thanks for answering. I have updated my code now to the code below. I still dont understand why it wont run. Would you have another look?

vChute is negative, so you should be adding it in the calculation of h3, when the rocket is falling
% h3 = h2 - vChute * (t3-t2); % Update height
h3 = h2 + vChute * (t3-t2); % Update height
Now the code runs:

tEngineCut = 0.15 % Total time before engine cuts in seconds
