Path: StraightLine/Straight2D
% Maximum straight-line distance achievable in specified time. This is an analytic solution to compute the maximum distance achievable, given the engine parameters. Its equivalent to just getting the engine to that distance, without any additional payload. The built-in demo shows the maximum distance for several values of exhaust velocity over 10 years. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: dMax = ZeroPayloadDistance( d ) % struct input dMax = ZeroPayloadDistance( tF, uE, sigma, eta, f ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ d (.)
