Aircraft: Vectors(J2000)

Used to report the selected vector and its derivative in J2000 axes. The vector must be defined in the Vector Geometry Tool.

Type: Time-varying data

Name	Description
CrossWindAxis	Vector defined by a cross product of the flight direction and the -Z body axis of the aircraft; directed to along the right wing of the aircraft when in level flight.
Velocity(SubPoint)	The velocity of the subpoint in the vehicle's central body fixed (CBF) coordinate system.
DragAxis	Unit vector in the direction opposite to the direction of flight.
East	Unit vector in the local horizontal plane pointing east.
FlightDir	Unit vector in the direction of flight.
LiftAxis	Vector defined by a cross product of the Y axis and the flight direction directed up and perpendicular to the flight surfaces of the aircraft; directed along the surface normal when in level flight.
MagField(IGRF)	Magnetic field vector based on IGRF model.
MagField(WMM)	Magnetic field vector based on WMM model.
Moon	Apparent position of the Moon center as seen from the object's center.
Moonlight	Apparent direction from which moonlight arrives at the object's location.
Nadir(Centric)	Unit vector along the direction from the center of the central body to the object.
Nadir(Detic)	Unit vector pointing opposite to the surface normal.
NegZAxisProjYZ	Vector defined by a projection of the negative Z axis of the body fixed axes onto a YZ plane of the flight path axes.
North	Unit vector in the local horizontal plane pointing north.
Position	True position of the object's center with respect to its central body center.
RollAxis	X axis of the aircraft body fixed axes; typically pointing along the nose of the aircraft.
RotorThrustAxis	Vector defined by a cross product of the cross wind direction and the flight direction.
SideForceAxis	Vector defined by a cross product of the flight direction and the lift axis.
South	Unit vector in the local horizontal plane pointing south.
Sun	Apparent direction from which sunlight arrives at the object's location.
SunGlint	Vector from the object to the apparent location of the Sun glint - the point on the central body surface from where the sunlight is reflected back to the object.
Sunlight	Apparent direction from which sunlight arrives at the object's location.
Velocity	Inertial velocity of the object's center with respect to its central body center
Velocity(CBF)	Central body fixed velocity of the object's center with respect to its central body center.
West	Unit vector in the local horizontal plane pointing west.
Zenith(Centric)	Unit vector along the direction from the center of the central body to the object.
Zenith(Detic)	Unit vector pointing along the surface normal.
