MissileRocketPropulsion#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.aviator.MissileRocketPropulsion#

Class defining the Rocket propulsion options for a missile.

Overview#

nozzle_expansion_ratio

Get or set the exit area divided by the throat area.

nozzle_exit_diameter

Get or set the diameter of the nozzle exit.

combustion_chamber_pressure

Get or set the pressure in the combustion chamber.

propellant_specific_heat_ratio

Get or set the ratio of the propellant’s constant-pressure specific heat to the constant volume specific heat.

propellant_characteristic_velocity

Get or set the propellant’s characteristic velocity (Chamber Pressure * Throat Area / Mass Flow Rate of the engine).

use_boost_sustain_mode

Opt for the engine to use a boost phase to achieve a target velocity and then transition to a sustenance phase.

boost_fuel_fraction

Get or set the amount of fuel that is consumed during the boost phase.

boost_chamber_pressure

Get or set the combustion chamber pressure during the boost phase.

no_thrust_when_no_fuel

Opt to have no thrust if the fuel is empty.
