PrescribedAccelerationTransitionProfile Properties

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to allow changes to the FinalHeight while configuring the route. By default, this is true.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to allow changes to the InitialHeight while configuring the route. By default, this is true.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to allow changes to the InitialSpeed while configuring the route. In general, when used as a transition between procedures, the initial speed is usually set by the previous profile. By default, this is true.

Gets or sets the final height of the incline with respect to the surface path, in meters. If AllowModificationOfFinalHeight is false, this height will be fixed during the configuration. Otherwise, the surrounding profiles may modify it to configure the route. Unlike the StandardTransitionProfile or TerrainAvoidanceProfile, this profile will defer to the surrounding profiles and will not attempt to modify them.

Gets or sets the final vertical velocity, in meters per second. If AllowModificationOfFinalHeight is false, this height will be fixed during the configuration. Otherwise, the surrounding profiles may modify it to configure the route.

Gets or sets the reference surface above which the height is defined. By default, this is the surface of the Earth.

Gets or sets the initial height of the incline with respect to the surface path, in meters. If AllowModificationOfInitialHeight is false, this height will be fixed during the configuration. Otherwise, the surrounding profiles may modify it to configure the route. Unlike the StandardTransitionProfile or TerrainAvoidanceProfile, this profile will defer to the surrounding profiles and will not attempt to modify them.

Gets or sets the initial vertical velocity, in meters per second. If AllowModificationOfInitialHeight is false, this height will be fixed during the configuration. Otherwise, the surrounding profiles may modify it to configure the route.

Gets or sets the initial speed at the beginning of the profile. In general, when used as a transition between procedures the initial speed is usually set by the previous profile.

Gets or sets the (vertical) acceleration used to pitch up when climbing, in meters per second squared. This defines the functional pitch radius when changing the inclination of the flight path. By default, this is ten times EarthSurfaceGravity. If the ThrustAcceleration is such that the final velocity becomes very large, that may cause certain inclined profiles to become invalid due to the time and distance spent to execute pitching maneuvers to achieve the initial or final height rates. To remedy this, make sure your pitch accelerations are sufficient to handle the rapid changes required. For instance, missiles with attitude control systems may have much higher pitch rates than aircraft depending on aerodynamic control surfaces.

Gets or sets the (vertical) acceleration used to pitch down when leveling out, in meters per second squared. This defines the functional pitch radius when changing the inclination of the flight path. By default, this is ten times EarthSurfaceGravity. If the ThrustAcceleration is such that the final velocity becomes very large, that may cause certain inclined profiles to become invalid due to the time and distance spent to execute pitching maneuvers to achieve the initial or final height rates. To remedy this, make sure your pitch accelerations are sufficient to handle the rapid changes required. For instance, missiles with attitude control systems may have much higher pitch rates than aircraft depending on aerodynamic control surfaces.

Gets or sets the acceleration to use when transitioning from the initial to the final speed. By default, this is zero, indicating that the speed will not change and the next profile's initial speed will be updated to be equal to the final speed of the previous profile.
