Path: StraightLine/ConstantThrust
% Straight-line DV limit from engine parameters and time. This is an analytic solution for the maximum delta-V. It is independent of the distance traveled, depending only on the time, exhaust velocity, engine specific power and efficiency, and fuel tank fraction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: DVmax = DVLimit( d ) DVmax = DVLimit( tF, uE, sigma, eta, f ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ d (.) Engine data ------- Outputs ------- DVmax (1,1) Maximum Delta-V (km/s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
