Examples

Configure the basic acceleration performance model of an aircraft

# AircraftModel aviatorAircraft: Aviator Aircraft object
# Get the acceleration type
acceleration = aviatorAircraft.acceleration
# Get the build in performance model
basicAccModel = acceleration.get_built_in_model()

# Get the level turns options
levelTurns = basicAccModel.level_turns
# Set a max bank angle of 25
levelTurns.set_level_turn(TurnMode.TURN_MODE_BANK_ANGLE, 25)
# Get the climb and descent transition options
climbAndDescent = basicAccModel.climb_and_descent_transitions
# Set the max pull up G to 1
climbAndDescent.max_pull_up_g = 1.2
# Get the attitude transition options
attitudeTransitions = basicAccModel.attitude_transitions
# Set the max roll rate to 25
attitudeTransitions.roll_rate = 25

# Get the aerodynamics
aero = basicAccModel.aerodynamics
# Use simple aerodynamics
aero.aerodynamic_strategy = AircraftAerodynamicStrategy.AIRCRAFT_AERODYNAMIC_SIMPLE
# Get the options for the simple aerodynamics and set some parameters
simpleAero = aero.mode_as_simple
simpleAero.s_reference = 5
simpleAero.cl_max = 3.1
simpleAero.cd = 0.05

# Get the propulsion
prop = basicAccModel.propulsion
# Use simple propulsion
prop.propulsion_strategy = AircraftPropulsionStrategy.AIRCRAFT_PROPULSION_SIMPLE
# Get the simple propulsion options and set some parameters
simpleProp = prop.mode_as_simple
simpleProp.max_thrust_acceleration = 0.6
simpleProp.min_thrust_deceleration = 0.4
simpleProp.set_density_scaling(True, 0.02)

# Save the changes to the catalog
aviatorAircraft.save()
