AircraftExternalPropulsion

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.aviator.AircraftExternalPropulsion

Class defining the external propulsion options for a basic acceleration performance model of an Aviator aircraft.

Overview

Methods

set_propulsion_filepath	Set the filepath for the prop file.
reload_propulsion_file	Reload the prop file.
set_density_scaling	Set the option to use density scaling and set the density ratio exponent.

Properties

propulsion_filepath	Get the filepath for the prop file.
is_valid	Check if the prop file is valid.
can_set_acceleration_deceleration	Check whether you can set the acceleration and deceleration values or whether they are specified in the file.
max_thrust_acceleration	Get or set the rate at which the aircraft speeds up at max throttle.
min_thrust_deceleration	Get or set the rate at which the aircraft slows down at minimum throttle setting.
use_density_scaling	Opt whether to scale the accel/decel performance by the density ratio.
density_ratio_exponent	Get the relative impace of atmospheric density on the aircraft’s performance.
