AircraftVTOLModel#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.aviator.AircraftVTOLModel#: Class defining the VTOL performance model of an aircraft.

Overview#

Methods

Set the speed at which the aircraft can begin forward flight.

Properties

`scale_fuel_flow_by_non_std_density`	Get or set whether to scale fuel flow by non std density.
`hover_fuel`	Get or set the aircraft’s fuel flow rate while hovering.
`heading_rate`	Get or set the rate at which the aircraft can change heading while hovering.
`heading_transition_time`	Get or set the time required to transition from another maneuvering mode to heading change maneuver mode.
`vertical_rate`	Get or set the aircraft’s vertical rate.
`vertical_transition_time`	Get or set the time required to transition from another maneuvering mode to vertical maneuver mode.
`translation_rate`	Get or set the rate at which the aircraft can translate while hovering.
`translation_transition_time`	Get or set the time required to transition from another maneuvering mode to translation maneuver mode.
`forward_flight_airspeed`	Get the speed at which the aircraft can begin forward flight.
`forward_flight_airspeed_type`	Get the forward flight airspeed type.
`forward_flight_transition_time`	Get or set the time required to transition from another maneuvering mode to forward flight at sea level.
