Path: StraightLine/SLPowerLimited
% Solve a straight-line power-limited rocket problem.
One of m0, tF, dF, or Pj fields may be empty. This field will be solved for
using the remaining problem parameters. The solution assumes the optimal
power-limited rocket trajectory which is a linear acceleration profile.
When solving for mass or power, the solution is analytical. When solving
for distance or time, the solution is found numerically using fzero.
Type SLPLSolver for a demo.
