Examples#

Configure the basic cruise performance model of an aircraft

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

# Set the ceiling altitude
basicCruiseModel.ceiling_altitude = 50000
# Set the default cruise altitude
basicCruiseModel.default_cruise_altitude = 10000
# Set the airspeed type
basicCruiseModel.airspeed_type = AirspeedType.TAS
# Opt to not use the fuel flow calculated by the aero/prop model and instead specify the values
basicCruiseModel.use_aerodynamic_propulsion_fuel = False

# Set the various airspeeds and fuel flows
basicCruiseModel.min_airspeed = 110
basicCruiseModel.min_airspeed_fuel_flow = 10000

basicCruiseModel.max_endurance_airspeed = 135
basicCruiseModel.max_endurance_fuel_flow = 8000

basicCruiseModel.max_airspeed = 570
basicCruiseModel.max_airspeed_fuel_flow = 30000

basicCruiseModel.max_range_airspeed = 140
basicCruiseModel.max_range_fuel_flow = 9000

basicCruiseModel.max_performance_airspeed = 150
basicCruiseModel.max_performance_airspeed_fuel_flow = 12000
