OptimalImpulseDuration:

Path: StraightLine/Straight2D

% Find the exhaust velocity to minimize duration using fminbnd
 This is the exhaust velocity that minimizes the duration for the
 requested mission (payload fraction, distance and specific power).

 Type OptimalExhaustVelocity for a demo to Jupiter.
