class aviary.variable_info.enums.AlphaModes(value, names=<not given>, *values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

Bases: Enum

AlphaModes is used to specify how angle of attack is defined during

climb and descent.

DEFAUT:

Alpha is an input

ROTATION

Alpha is calculated as the initial angle plus the rotation rate times the duration of the rotation.

LOAD_FACTOR

Alpha is limited to ensure the load factor never exceeds a specified maximum.

FUSELAGE_PITCH

Alpha is calculated to set a particular floor angle given the current flight path angle.

DECELERATION

Alpha is calculated to target a specified TAS rate, the default is a TAS rate of 0 (Constant TAS).

REQUIRED_LIFT

Alpha is calculated such that the aircraft produces a particular lifting force.

ALTITUDE_RATE

Alpha is calculated to target a specified altitude rate, the default is 0 (Constant Altitude).

ALTITUDE_RATE = 7

CONSTANT_ALTITUDE = 8

DECELERATION = 5

class aviary.variable_info.enums.AnalysisScheme(value, names=<not given>, *values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

Bases: Enum

AnalysisScheme is used to select from Collocation and shooting.

COLLOCATION uses the collocation method to optimize all points simultaneously and can be run in parallel. However, it requires reasonable initial guesses for the trajectory and is fairly sensitive to those initial guesses.

SHOOTING is a forward in time integration method that simulates the trajectory. This does not require initial guesses and will always produce physically valid trajectories, even during optimizer failures. The shooting method cannot be run in parallel.

COLLOCATION = 1

SHOOTING = 2

class aviary.variable_info.enums.ProblemType(value, names=<not given>, *values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

Bases: Enum

ProblemType is used to switch between different combinations of design variables and constraints.

SIZING: Varies the design gross weight and actual gross weight to close to design range. This causes the empty weight and the fuel weight to change.

ALTERNATE: Requires a pre-sized aircraft. It holds the design gross weight and empty weight constant. It then varies the fuel weight and actual gross weight until the range closes to the off-design range.

FALLOUT: Requires a pre-sized aircraft. It holds the design gross weight and empty weight constant. Using the specified actual gross weight, it will then find the maximum distance the off-design aircraft can fly.

MULTI_MISSION: Similar to a SIZING mission, however it varies the design gross weight and actual gross weight across multiple missions to and closes design range for each mission. This causes the empty weight and the fuel weight to change. The final result will be a single empty weight, for all the different missions, and multiple values for fuel weight, unique to each mission.
