Example

Configure the basic cruise performance model of an aircraft

[C#]

// Get the cruise type
IAgAvtrAircraftCruise cruise = aircraft.Cruise;
// Get the build in performance model
IAgAvtrAircraftBasicCruiseModel basicCruiseModel = cruise.GetBuiltInModel();

// Set the ceiling altitude
basicCruiseModel.CeilingAltitude = 50000;
// Set the default cruise altitude
basicCruiseModel.DefaultCruiseAltitude = 10000;
// Set the airspeed type
basicCruiseModel.AirspeedType = AgEAvtrAirspeedType.eTAS;
// Opt to not use the fuel flow calculated by the aero/prop model and instead specify the values
basicCruiseModel.UseAeroPropFuel = false;

// Set the various airspeeds and fuel flows
basicCruiseModel.MinAirspeed = 110;
basicCruiseModel.MinAirspeedFuelFlow = 10000;

basicCruiseModel.MaxEnduranceAirspeed = 135;
basicCruiseModel.MaxEnduranceFuelFlow = 8000;
