ClimbAndDescentTransitions#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.aviator.ClimbAndDescentTransitions#: Class defining the climb and descent transition options for an Acceleration performance model of an Aviator aircraft.

Overview#

Properties

`max_pull_up_g`	Get or set the force normal to the velocity vector used to transition into a climb or to a transition out of a dive into the next flight segment.
`max_push_over_g`	Get or set the force normal to the velocity vector used to transition into a descent or to a transition from a climb into the next flight segment.
`maneuver_mode`	Get or set the mode that the aircraft will adhere to the specified acceleration parameters. Scale by atmospheric density will cause the aircraft to consider dynamic pressure when calculating turn radius.
`ignore_flight_path_angle`	Opt whether to ignore the flight path angle.
`maneuver_mode_helper`	Get the interface for the Aero/Prop Maneuver Mode helper. The maneuver mode must be set to Aero/Prop to access this interface.

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)
