Path: Orbit/StraightLine
% Constant acceleration simulation
Assumes constant acceleration. Flyby and stopping are supported. This uses a
straight line model. If d.p is entered (and constant), d.uE is not used.
Otherwise, power is computed from uE. Use either
MassFuelElectricConstantUE or MassFuelElectricConstantPower to compute
the fuel mass.
Type StraightLineConstantAccel for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
d = StraightLineConstantAccel; % data structure, constant uE
[mF,xP,t] = StraightLineConstantAccel(d,n)
